I'm an unrepentant theatre nerd with a penchant for Shakespeare and learning new instruments. Born and raised just outside Washington, DC, I relocated to Chicago in 2014 after graduating from the University of Michigan with a BA in Drama and Women's Studies. While still in college, I was lucky enough to spend time at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and the School at Steppenwolf, which is totally responsible for making me fall in love with Chicago. I am so proud to call this city home, but I'm also an adventurer and love to take my talents on the road.

I have performed all over the country at some of the most exciting regional theatres around, and outdoors in some pretty spectacular natural environments. I've also toured extensively with rep companies like the National Players, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks,  and with The Hypocrites' wildly popular Gilbert and Sullivan series. A G&S nerd by birth and a cellist by training, I learned to play the accordion, ukulele, banjo, drums, spoons, and musical saw while doing these shows and am constantly adding to my musical arsenal. I occasionally guest with a few bands around the city, and was most recently on the road with Mary Zimmerman's Matchbox Magic Flute, which flexed my musical muscles in every way imaginable.

When I'm not running around doing all that, you can find me baking, going on long Jane Austen-style walks, watching 30 Rock for the millionth time, experimenting with accents, snuggling with my cat Jelly, searching for the perfect plate of nachos, and recording various podcasts and audio dramas.
