Hi there!

​

I'm a theater, film & tv actor from Boston who loves my job. No, seriously.

​

In spite of early call-times, spontaneous scheduling and creative chaos, I wouldn't do anything else in my life. Because I love it. And I can always get better at it. I first started acting when I was young because I realized I was far better at pretending to be good at things than actually being good at them (some days it helped me, other days.....oh boy).

​

I'm hungry to constantly be auditioning & improving my craft while balancing the practicalities of acting as a profession. I'm a proud member of SAG-AFTRA/Actor's Equity and represented by the Maggie Agency for New England-based work.

 

Recent credits include Beyond Words (Central Square Theater - Elliot Norton Award Nominee)Julia (HBO Max); A Raisin in the Sun DIASPORA! (New Repertory Theater); Fairview (Speakeasy Stage Company); the short film Automate (Winner - Best Actor, London Shorts); and The Taming of the Shrew (Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare). I've also done a litany of commercial/corporate acting work including KFC, Google & the current ad campaign for the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA.
