I was born into a family of musicians - mom had been a recording artist since childhood and dad had a record deal with RCA. So of course my mom taught my sister and me to sing with her in three-part harmony when I was four and booked our trio to play weddings by the time I was five. I fell in love with musical theatre at age seven, performed in school and community theatre productions throughout my youth, and taught myself to play guitar so I could write songs and accompany myself.  



I moved from the SF Bay Area to New York and, though I pursued a survival career in academic librarianship, I continued to write songs and perform them at venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. From 2009-2012, I studied the Meisner acting technique at Alan Gordon Studio in Greenwich Village, NYC, and studied singing at Michael Hadary Studio in Harlem.  

​

Since returning to the Bay Area, I've continued to develop my singing voice with Raz Kennedy and discovered a passion for on-camera and voice acting, studying at Voicetrax SF and attending a weekly masterclass at Seydways Acting Studios.​

I was represented by the on-camera and voice over departments at Stars Agency from 2020 to 2024, then decided to refocus my energies on my academic library career. I'm always down for a passion project on the side!
