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.
