A Little About Me…
-
Actress
I began taking acting seriously in high school in plays like “Book of Days” and “Spiral Staircase.” As an adult, I went on to train both in school at places like Stella Adler Studio of Acting, as well as getting out there as a working actress. Though the road has not been in ANY way linear, the journey has been worth it.
I’m also a voice actor signed with CESD where I’ve been able to lend my voice to not only commercials, but a few novels as well. Next up is animation and gaming!
Most recently, I was Emilia 2 in the play “Emilia” written by Morgan Lloyd-Malcom at The Western Stage in Salinas, CA. A wonderful experience and play that will be getting the Hollywood treatment soon!

Screenwriter
Screenwriting wasn’t something I saw myself doing initially. It wasn’t until I went to college and had to take a screenwriting class that I realized I loved to write just as much as act. Once I caught the bug, I began writing short films. Two of which were produced. The most recent short is titled, ‘After Forever’ that was directed by Jace Black, and co-produced by him, myself, and Gem Little. It was a wonderful experience. So wonderful, in fact, that we plan to work together again this year on a few other projects!

Novelist
Screenwriting may not have been an automatic segue for me, but storytelling has always been in my veins. I started with short stories in middle school, and even had the audacity to write my first novel. By hand!
I’m biased, but it’s amazing.
Though that was never published, I refined my efforts and began to self-publish my short stories in 2016. Since then, I (and the stories) have gone through many iterations. For one, I went from writing under a pen name back to my own name, and two, what I write now is Contemporary Romance with open door scenes. A spicy change from my humble beginnings.
I’m often asked, “Why romance?”
The simplest answer? Deep down, I’m a hopeless romantic
Currently, you can read my work in anthology titled “Someplace Generous” edited by Elaina Ellis and Amber Flame (no relation). Check it out here!
