Hi! I was born-and-bred in Brooklyn. Growing up I told everyone my name meant 'loud noise' but I'm not actually sure that's true.
My grandparents fostered my love of performing by taking me to plays every weekend - from Donna Murphy in Hello, Dolly! to a two-hander at The Irish Rep... I saw everything I could on stage, which grew to include myself.



After receiving my BFA in Acting from Otterbein University, I moved back to the city. Most recently, I wrapped an episode of Murder Nation, an improv class at Second City, and I'm currently adapting one of my social media sketches into a short film.
My happy place - the beach, my two adorable (yet prima donna) cats, and a witty rom-com I discovered on TikTok.
