Since the rainbow fish days, my love for acting has only grown. My "so this is love" realization came in high school, when I played Ma Kirby in Thornton Wilder’s The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden. I initially viewed Ma as a frigid, unexpressive zealot who censored her family and lied to herself. As I investigated - and became invested in - Ma, I learned to value her as a multifaceted human worthy of compassion. That empathy inherent to acting - that visceral care for others, demons, and all - reeled me in and whispered, "Stay a while."
So I did! I majored in drama at U.Va., won the Pettway Prize in Drama, immersed myself in Shakespeare at RADA, and studied onscreen acting at MN Studio. Alongside film, TV, and theatre, I model commercially. (If you've ever wanted to play Cher in "Clueless," you can dress me in various ~glamorous outfits~ in Walmart's Zeekit virtual dressing room!)
In Elle Lexxa's music videos, I play a mortal girl in the 1950s, enamored with a witch and torn between heteronormative expectations and budding queer desire.
I played a young woman grappling with the untimely death of her father in Meny Beriro's Photos of Mimon (November 2024).
GPS had a successful two-week run (February 2024). Along with the seductive GPS role, I played Hope, a pregnant woman troubled by the prospect of AI.
I played a seductive GPS in the full-length reading of GPS at Theater 555 (December 2023).
