Hey! I was born in Skokie, Illinois, and raised in the Maryland suburbs outside DC. I’ve been a drama nerd since forever, and my earliest inspirations were the brilliant company actors in the ‘80s and ‘90s DC theatre scene, at Woolly Mammoth and Arena Stage.
I’ve been a NYC-based actor for many years, and work regularly across theatre, TV, and film. Some of my recent guest star roles on TV include playing a woman having a VERY bad pregnancy on the season 1 finale of Evil, as well as Law & Order: Organized Crime, Chicago Med, Elementary, The Americans, Madam Secretary, The Middle, and Grey’s Anatomy — and indie films We Go On, As Good As You, Cold Souls, Coach, YellowBrickRoad, and The Harbinger.
Onstage, I love working on new plays. I made my Broadway debut in Coram Boy, and I’ve originated leading roles in new work written by many of the top playwrights writing today — including “Helena” in Bathsheba Doran’s acclaimed Kin (Playwrights Horizons, dir. Sam Gold), for which I was nominated for both Lortel and Drama League Awards, “Edna” in Liz Meriwether’s The Mistakes Madeline Made (Naked Angels, dir. Evan Cabnet), “The Writer” in Karen Hartman’s Good Faith (Yale Rep, dir. Kenny Leon), “Lily” in David Adjmi’s Stunning (Woolly Mammoth, dir. Anne Kauffman), “Eurydice” in the world premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice (Madison Rep, dir. Richard Corley), and “Charlotte” in Mark Schultz’s Everything Will Be Different (Soho Rep, dir. Daniel Aukin). Also world premieres by the equally brilliant Jordan Harrison, Anna Ziegler, Marlane Meyer, Michael Golamco, Julia Cho, Tina Howe, Emily Mann, Keith Reddin, Greg Kotis, Quincy Long, and Francine Volpe, at theatres including The Geffen, Williamstown, McCarter, South Coast Rep, Humana Festival, The O’Neill Playwrights Conference, NY Stage & Film, Clubbed Thumb, and many shows at Playwrights Horizons.
I also love travel, running (slowly, but it’s still running), coffee all hours of the day, activism supporting LGBTQIA+ youth, and I’m a total podcast junkie. I live in New York with my husband, filmmaker/composer Andy Mitton, our kids Naomi and Asa, and really just an impossibly high-strung cat named Smush.
