I studied film and video arts at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore before returning to my home city to pursue my performance craft further. While I have performed with theatre companies such as Steppenwolf, Victory Gardens, and Jackalope, I have fallen in love with the art of screen acting. As a filmmaker, I love all aspects of telling a story on camera and am excited to continue collaborating with other artists in the indie cinematic space!

Currently in post-production for The Woodcutter & The Weaver, a folk sci-fi feature written by Lily McCauley and Cleo Shine.
