About Me

Originally from Redding, Connecticut, I am currently New York-based. I recently graduated from Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at The New School with a degree in screen studies and minor in film production.

In my free time, I love to go for long walks, listen to music, spend time with friends and family, and craft (knit, crochet, and recently diamond painting). My favorite color is green (with a particular affinity for stripes) and my favorite snacks are pretzels.

I try to spend my days making memories that make me feel human, that make me feel that I am using the life that I have inside of me to the best of my ability. It is my goal in life that whatever I make– whether I am performing or creating; whether it is comedic or serious– reflects the human experience in its complexity as best as it can. To me, the purpose of art is to reveal the common thread that connects us, to make our individuality accessible and to then, in turn, feel less alone.
