After growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I traveled across the country to pursue a BS in Theater and BA in French at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY.  During my collegiate years I was also fortunate enough to study in Dublin, Ireland at the Gaiety School of Acting.

The day after graduation I moved to New Hampshire for a life-changing year as an actor and administrator with the Hampstead Stage Company, followed by a summer of musical theater at Hackmatack Playhouse up the road in Maine.  

For the next year I lived in Washington D.C., where I trained in physical theater with Synetic Theater and taught drama after-school programs.  

Since then I have spent two amazing summers at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, as part of their resident Irish music group.  At faire I received a considerable amount of improv training, and between seasons I had the fantastic opportunity to put those skills to use doing two pieces of experiential theater at the Powel Crosley Theater in Florida.

In 2017 I moved to the beautiful city of Chicago, and the rest is history! I’ve been performing at local storefront theaters, as well as performing at Renaissance Faires across the Midwest with my touring group Bess & Marley. Check out our website for all our recent updates!
