“The Lunatic, the Lover, and the Poet are of Imagination all compact” – William Shakespeare<\/p>\n\n\n
Originally from Larchmont, NY, I grew up in a multicultural household with a German mother and American father. At six years old, my parents enrolled me in ballet classes because they saw how I danced to pieces of music that moved me. Through ballet I discovered acting, and the rest is history. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon in 2018 with a BFA in acting, and have been working ever since.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve performed with several regional theater companies: Shakespeare & Co., MA, Unto These Hills, NC, and most recently Voice Theatre, Kingston, NY. My NYC credits include productions with A.R.T.\/ New York Theatres, The Brick, The Tank, The PIT, and Columbia University. Last summer,\u00a0 I performed in \u201cGoldhaven\u201d, an original musical, where I portrayed that most American of archetypes- the conman\/carnival barker. Allison Dwyer of Staff Picks wrote about the show and my performance \u201cAmped up by a very justice-loving Mayor Goldenteef (Leon Schwendener made me laugh \u2018til I cried).”<\/p>\n
In my spare time you’ll catch me hiking, mountaineering, slurping copious amounts of coffee, reviewing films pre-1980 on Letterboxd (I watch the new stuff too, but have a burner account for those). I\u2019m a student of American history, with a passion for politics and civil engagement. My high school yearbook quote was taken from Robert Frost\u2019s poem \u201cBirches\u201d. I still stand by it: \u201cEarth\u2019s the right place for love: I don\u2019t know where it\u2019s likely to go better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
