At the age of 4, I decided I was going to be a doctor.  

 

By the age of 5 I realized that I faint at the sight of blood, and that dream crashed and burned.  I nursed the dream of being a ballerina for a while...and then I woke up one morning and I was 5'7." 

 

So naturally I turned to acting.  Thank goodness, because this career path is much more stable than one in that ever-changing medical field.  

 

I also like comedy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I grew up in St. Charles, IL and luckily I attended a high school that was known for the arts.  I played the flute in the band and our director, James Kull, was a former member of the Manhattan Transfer and got us a concert at Carnegie Hall.  As a young musician, it's hard to top Carnegie Hall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I decided to challenge myself further and pursue acting professionally.  Acting became a part of my life at an early age and that lead me to study Theatre Arts at Marquette University in MIlwaukee, WI.  I learned very quickly that being somewhere cold was not for me.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After graduation, I wound up in NYC assistant directing Henry V for TITAN Theatre Company in January of 2012 after an internship through Marquette at the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre.  I love NYC.  I still hated the cold.  I moved back home after this internship and did some theatre in Chicago.  Did I mention I hate the cold?

 

This prompted my move to Los Angeles.  I love the beach.  I love acting for the camera.  I love the warm weather.  I love palm trees.  I love having a car.  I don't love the traffic...but I'll let that slide :)
