I am an award-winning actor (Outstanding Actress in a Professional Production 2024 - NH Theatre Awards) and was a Theatre Educator for 23 years. I taught at the high school level at both Belmont High School and Cambridge Rindge and Latin in Massachusetts, and was Professor of Theatre at New England College for 14 years. I have a BA in Education from New England College and an MFA in Acting from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I studied at the Krannert Center. While there I worked with Tony Award winning director Dan Sullivan, playwright Lee Blessing, and participated in an intensive residency with Ann Bogart’s CITI Company. After returning home to the East Coast, I served as the Managing Director of the Devanaughn Theatre Company in Boston, where I also appeared in many productions. I have acted professionally in the area with such companies as The Gloucester Stage Company in the English language premiere of Compromise with Israel Horovitz and The Huntington Theatre as a resident understudy (including serving as the understudy for Lisa Kron in Well), among other credits. I served as the Company Manager for Northern Stage Company, where I also appeared on stage. I also have appeared in many Shakespeare productions with the Open Door Theatre Company. I continue to perform in the New England area with various companies. I'm a big fan of magnifying strong voices and changing the world, one audience at a time.
