about me....
I am a very passionate person.  I bring this intensity to my acting and my dedication to becoming a continually better actress.  I believe every experience has something to be learned from it and I take every audition, every callback, every role as a classroom to improve myself and my talents.  I love a challenge . . . something that tests my limits and forces me to go somewhere I have never been before.  I wholeheartedly value constructive criticism and direction.  I believe I have good insight into myself and my roles, but an external and objective opinion is always important.
 
Going to college, it was a natural choice to be a theater major.  There I studied such broad ranges of theater, including: comedy, drama, Shakespeare, Linklater voice and movement technique, Meisner acting technique, Rodenburg voice technique, scene study, cold-readings, directing, make-up, costume and much much more.  It was an incredible learning experience and I feel I honed my craft very finely under the diligent guidance of the professors.
During my studies at Boston College, I took time to study at the prestigious Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City.  There I studied the Meisner acting technique as well, under the direction of Ron Stetson.  I also studied there with Gary Gendell learning dance and movement, and voice with Gary Ramsey.  Another wonderful experience that has taught me so much.
 
Acting is not just something I am pursuing for glory or fame.  I am in this game for the long run . . . so hopefully I will see you somewhere down the road.

“What you are in love with, what seizes your  imagination, will affect everything . . . it decides what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart and what amazes you with joy and gratitude . . . fall in love, stay in love and it will decide everything.”
~ Pedro Arrupe S.J.

“I believe talent is like electricity.  We do not understand electricity.  We use it.  Electricity makes no judgement.  You can plug into it, and light up a lamp, keep a heart pump going . . . or you can electrocute a person with it . . . I think talent is like that.”
~ Maya Angelou
