BIO:

Born in Sacramento to an American father and English mother, I moved to the UK as a baby before returning to California at eight, where I grew up in Folsom. Known for picking up accents while keeping my English one, I pursued acting from an early age and (when I left High School) moved back to the UK and trained at my dream school, LAMDA.

************

After a few years in London, I relocated to Los Angeles, where I immersed myself in the vibrant Pro 99 theatre scene for well over a decade. I became a long-standing member of Theatre of NOTE, serving as Head of New Membership, and expanded my work beyond acting into producing. In 2019, I added directing to my credits, and in 2020, I was appointed Associate Artistic Director of SkyPilot Theatre Company, where I helped shape programming and artistic vision while championing inclusivity and community.

************

Alongside performing, I deepened my practice in the healing and creative arts, studying Massage Therapy, Reiki Healing, and Intimacy Direction. I went on to gain certification with IDOC and completed Nicole Brewer’s Anti-Racist Theatre training, which continues to inform my work as both an artist and leader.

************

During the pandemic, I contributed to The Mask Crusaders, helping supply PPE nationwide. At the same time, at SkyPilot, I produced the Sonnets in LA series, as well as the BLM II and BLM Vol. 3 play readings, which showcased Global Majority artists, and a COVID-19 monologue project to keep artists connected.

With all the changes COVID brought to my life, I returned to London in 2021 and stepped straight into the role of COVID Supervisor (HOD) for Wicked on the West End, overseeing safety protocols for one of the world’s biggest musicals. In summer 2022, I joined Secret Cinema for their immersive Dirty Dancing production, and by autumn, I was promoted to Accessibility Host for Guardians of the Galaxy, supporting audiences of all needs to have a seamless and magical experience. Most recently, I was Venue Assistant for Come Alive, The Greatest Showman Circus Experience, where I played a key role in launching the show from the ground up, supporting venue operations, liaising with contractors, and stepping in as Ops Show Cover whenever needed.

************

As a performer, I joined The Paddington Experience in mid-2024, bringing to life Mrs Brown and Mrs Bird, and embracing the immersive world shortly after it opened. In September 2025, I also appeared in the staged reading of NIMROD, brought to London by Bespoke Plays after premiering at my LA theatre home, Theatre of NOTE. Starring Kirsten Vangsness in the titular role alongside Tom Lenk, the event at The Union Theatre was more performance than reading, complete with sound, lighting, costumes, and all the elements of a full production. I juggled the roles of GOON, Double Jr (a version of Erik Trump), and Talking Head.

************

Now based in the UK, I remain closely connected to the LA theatre community I love and miss. I am a trained performer and all-round artist with experience as a Director, Producer, Associate Artistic Director, and company leader, passionate about making theatre that runs smoothly and feels magical.
