I’m a New York-based actor specializing in grounded characters who serve as a steadfast voice of reason. Whether as the warm professional, the green but compelled seeker of justice, or the soulful classical heroine, I bring a signature warmth and an integrity that finds its true strength when challenged.

My work lives at the intersection of a relatable, grounded strength and the sharp determination of a specialist. I am drawn to roles that look beneath the surface—from the insightful sister, or dedicated governess navigating the social subtext of a period drama, to the observant rookie deciphering behavioural patterns. My research-driven storytelling thrives in roles demanding depth, humanity, and a determined moral compass.

Currently completing my BFA in Acting with a minor in Psychology at Syracuse University (graduating May 2026), I integrate my studies in psychology, criminology, and forensics to bring a unique layer of authenticity to high-stakes investigative roles. I am jargon-fluent and excel at navigating the technical and emotional nuances of historically rooted and professional narratives. Additional training includes Shakespeare’s Globe (London), Tepper Semester (NYC), and Interlochen Arts Academy.

I offer international versatility for global productions, holding US and UK Citizenship with the right to work in the Bahamas. Local to both New York and The Bahamas, I bring a worldly perspective to both screen and stage, seeking projects that explore humanity and justice with intelligence and grit.

When I am not on stage or in front of the camera, I am often immersed in the production process. Here is a link to my Production work.
