I am a singer and actress living in New York, one of the lottery winners who has managed to carve out a living doing what I love. After graduating from Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in American Studies, I came to New York to pursue music and theatre, which meant I temped. A lot. I also took whatever singing and acting jobs came my way, both paying and non. I got my Equity Card playing a singing bear in a Theatreworks USA tour of GOLDILOCKS, which was as glamorous as it sounds.

Regional: Fanny Brice, the Real Funny Girl (world premiere), Gypsy, Beehive, Smokey Joe’s Café, The Honky Tonk Angels, Working. Television and Film: Rescue Me, Conviction, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Denis Leary’s Merry F***ing Christmas, Love Streams.
