About me

I am a SAG/AFTRA actress based in Los Angeles. I also paint, am a singer/songwriter and writer.

My bio on my art website best sums me up:

‘“Do you feel that?”
“That incessant pounding?”
“Don’t be alarmed dear. It’s your heart.”

I have been fascinated by the inner workings of the universe for as long as I can remember. Too many of us glide through life without ever really feeling the beauty we exist within. We are often too distracted or too afraid to really explore the world in depth. We are numb.

“People are just people. Things are just things. I’m trying to get by – just like everyone else.”

Sometimes we forget that we are…everyone else.
Our laughter. Our pain. Our heartache. Our beauty.

Our clockwork.

Our emotions.

Our connection.”‘

I am inspired by life, by our connection to each other, by the atmosphere and pure energy of who we are. I am inspired by the inter-weavings of darkness and light and how they manifest through each and every one of us.

I am an actress and storyteller because it allows me to explore more in depth this connection and hopefully connect with the humanity within others.

I love all genres of story, especially sci-fi/fantasy, but anything with interesting characters and story.

Quotes that inspire

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

~Howard Thurman

“When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me, lying around in invisible pieces. When I look too hard, it goes away. And when it all goes quiet, I see they are right here. I see that I’m a little piece in a big, big universe. And that makes things right. The whole universe depends on everything fitting together just right. If one piece busts, even the smallest piece… the entire universe will get busted.”
-Hushpuppie Beasts of the Southern Wild

“What about little microphones? What if everyone swallowed them, and they played the sounds of our hearts through little speakers..when you skateboarded down the street at night you could hear everyone’s heartbeat, and they could hear yours like sonar..”
-Jonathan Safran Foer

“while i crawl into the unknown.cover me.
i’m going hunting for mysteries.cover me.
i’m going to prove the impossible really exists.
this is really dangerous.cover me.
but worth all the effort.cover me.
i’m going to prove the impossible really exists.”
-Bjork

“Arresting
performance by an actor is not a matter of style or rehearsal, but of self-knowledge and an inescapable desire for complete personal exposure. That compulsion for public emotional nakedness drives the
actor to ask not “who must I become to create the character?,” but to ask “who does the character become because I play it?”
— Sir Laurence Olivier

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It’s yours.” – Ayn Rand

“He hates these cans. Stay away from the cans!”
-Navin R. Johnson (The Jerk)

“GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!”
-The Goonies

Bastian’s Father: I got a call from your math teacher, yesterday. She says that you were drawing horses in your math book.

Bastian’s Father: What?
Bastian: Nothing.
-The Neverending Story

“We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.”
Maya Angelou
