I grew up with Czech and German roots
in Temple, Texas, The home of infinite I-35, 7-11 slurpees, and two-stepping on concrete. I have an MFA in Acting from Columbia School of the Arts under the direction of James Calleri, Peter Jay Fernandez, and Ron Van Lieu. In addition to acting, I write and produce for theatre and film. I have a BA in Playwriting from Emory University, and a BBA with concentrations in Arts Management and Marketing from Goizueta Business School at Emory. I tend to write variations on growing up as a middle child in a big Catholic family in the middle of Texas, and I'm constantly thinking about better and more sustainable ways to produce theatre & independent films. RECENT PROJECTS: In August, I was in a short indie film shot by Forage Films in Pennsylvania. In September and October, I played Celia in a new adaptation of The Threepenny Opera at Lenfest Arts Center. I'm currently writing my first feature film, and getting up on the stand-up mic in Brooklyn. |
