I am often described as sweet with a bite. I have a no bullshit attitude with charming strength. If G.I. Jane has a remake, I'm ready. Thanks for stopping by! I’m a Vancouver & NYC based film actor and writer that was born in the small town of Newton Falls, Ohio where the only thing we are known for is a zip code of 44444. I have trouble memorizing new zip codes (but not lines).

​

     Before transitioning to film, my musical theater career consisted of  performing in the premiere Grand Ole Opry cast of How the Grinch Stole Christmas the Musical as Punky/Reno, regional equity houses around the country, and performing on Disney Cruise lines as the female swing! Highlight of my musical theater career was touring with the National Tour of A Chorus Line, working with Baayork Lee, performing the roles of  Cassie and Val. 

​

     Since transitioning into film, I've had the pleasure of doing many nominated and festival-award winning indie films. Diving headfirst into producing, I co-created, co-wrote, and produced my newest feature film, Shredded, premiering in 2024. I'm also an action, and stunt actor, building on my dance foundation and training with Vancouver Action Training School. 

​

     Also passionate about fitness and injury-prevention, I completed my comprehensive pilates certification in New York City, later becoming an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. When not on stage or set, I help others work through traumatic injuries and get their superhero bodies.

 

Currently, I reside in Vancouver & NYC with my partner, surfing on the weekends in the Rockaway's, or hiking in Vancouver. When not working on set or creating a new project, I am snuggling my pups, lifting at the gym, or surfing. 

 

I'm super passionate about sustainability and the environment! Let's create more sustainable film sets, cool?
