"The purpose of the storyteller is not to tell you what to think, but to give you the questions to think upon." - The Way of Kings
I have learned, on the short time I have been on this planet, that stories are all we have to teach empathy, compassion, how to laugh and how to love. I began my work as an actor on a Seattle stage at age 7.

My education as a storyteller continued at the University of Washington School of Dramatic Arts and after college when I traveled the country and lived out of a jeep. I made it to LA and dove into classes and collaboration.

While living in LA I have written and produced two stage plays - an evening of one acts and an award winning drama. I have co-founded three different production companies: Girls on Top Productions (all female sketch comedy), Congress Films (a short film collective) and Gross(e) Pictures. With these companies, I have been a writer, an artistic director, an actor, an assistant director, and a producer. Many of the films have played at festivals and won awards.
I joined the SAG-AFTRA union in 2016 and have had the privilege of working on many great Union television and movie sets since then.
