I started acting when I was 9-years-old when I played a spare rib/Shakespeare reciting Brownie Scout Girl in the bizarre comedy, "Martin and Orloff." I continued to act in indie films and small tv roles throughout my childhood.
I took off from the business to attend Brandeis University where I got my BA in Film, Television and Interactive Media and Theater Arts. While in college I branched into writing and directing. I co-wrote and directed a documentary play entitled, "Coerced," which detailed the illegal interrogation and subsequent coerced murder confession of a 16-year-old girl. I was interviewed on NPR about the play.
After graduating in May, 2015 I jumped right back into the acting world. In June, 2016 I filmed a supporting role in the Lifetime TV movie, "Amish Witches: The True Story of Holmes County." The film premieres October 29th, 2016.
