While most kids showed up to seventh grade career day with poster boards, I arrived in a homemade red carpet gown with feather boa straps, mouthing along as my teacher read a script I’d written for him to introduce me as if I were winning an Oscar. I rose (shocked and humbled, of course) to accept the honor and explain why, more than anything, I dreamed of being an actor.

Since then, my answer to “Why acting?” has deepened. I’ve explored other career paths, but nothing has ever come close to giving me the energy, joy, and meaning I find in acting. There’s something singularly powerful about collaborating with others to explore the full range of human experience through story. I return to this work with a full heart, deep listening, and a sense of humor I’ve come to trust as one of the truest ways to reach an audience.

I’m a stage and film actor who thrives in collaboration and is drawn to work that is honest, playful, and deeply human. I love the precision and intimacy of working on camera just as much as the electricity of live performance, and I bring a grounded, curious presence to both. Humor, responsiveness, and a strong sense of ensemble are central to my approach—whether I’m diving into a complex role or building a moment in real time as an avid improviser.

I perform regularly as a founding member of Long Con Improv, a Santa Fe–based ensemble that keeps me quick on my feet and deeply attuned to scene partners.
