My Training

Thanks to the Phillip J. Levin scholarship, I attended the acting conservatory at Rutgers Mason Gross to earn my Masters of Fine Arts in Acting. Conservatory training enabled me to establish my connections to classical material, learn the craft of Meisner realism, and master film, television, and voice-over techniques after first establishing myself as an artist in Texas.

What I'm doing now!

Now that I have completed my training, I enjoy sharing my skillset acting in SAG films and Regional theater as well as working with veterans as a Teaching Artist, helping them access their creativity in a way that mingles safety with adventure.​ I also serve as the Co-Artistic Director for Thinkery & Verse, where I produce, direct and actor for theatre/film/podcasts.  I am based in New Jersey.
