What’s up, y’all? Welcome to my page.

​

If you don’t know much about me, you soon will.

​

Firstly, I like to laugh. A lot. And about things that are weird. Frequently allowing my imagination to run amuck. To run wild. Because wild is free. And I don’t enjoy feeling contained. 

​

I also like to spend a lot of time by myself, exploring and observing. I most enjoy being on the road, in my tent, hiking trails, wandering, wondering, and bringing back with me a sense of augmented reality, realizing I’m smaller in this world than I think, and the world is large for a reason.

​

Each of these explorations means something. Deeply. I like figuring out what makes a human tick, what drives them, what scares them, because that’s where we find our humanity. In our gaps and cracks and crevices, the places where we slowly begin to unravel.

​

Bringing a greater understanding of that humanity to my work allows me to build characters and stories both as an actor and a director that are well-rounded and feel real with their own idiosyncrasies that make them special and relatable.

​

Some recent moments in my life I'm most proud of include the WW2 fantasy drama, The Plumber, loosely based on heroine Irena Sendler's life for which, with only 9 lines of dialogue, I secured 6 best actress nominations, including one alongside Evangeline Lilly. 

​

I was also awarded the Women in Film Fellowship Award through the Shawna Foundation for which I wrote, directed, and acted in my mockumentary horror-comedy, My Friends The Plants. This creative endeavor had a fantastic festival run attending over 50 festivals and receiving over 35 awards and nominations including 3 best actress wins, 2 best actress nominations [one of which was at Kevin Smith's SModCastle Film Festival alongside Chris Gethard and Godfrey], 3 best directing awards [the first being at the inaugural WhoHaHalloween, a festival run by Elizabeth Banks' co-founded platform, WhoHaHa], and a handful of best comedy awards. For these recognitions, I couldn't have felt more grateful. My Friends The Plants now lives on the streaming platform, TVHi.

In early 2023, I wrapped production as a lead in the feature film Pen Pals, which will be having its world premiere January 10, 2024 in Los Angeles.
