Improviser, Farm Girl, Mom, Resting Nice Face

I was raised on a farm in central Kansas where I spent my summers cleaning out wheat bins, laying out irrigation pipe, and driving tractors. I still go back every June to drive the combine for wheat harvest, which was documented in the 2019 documentary Combined.  

I came to Los Angeles by way of Chicago, where I spent six years studying and performing at The Second City, iO, and ActOne Studios among others. 

I linked up with The Second City Hollywood when I arrived in LA in 2009, where I was honored to be cast in the very first The Best of The Second City archive revue on the Hollywood stage. I am a founding member of and can currently be seen in The Rockin’ Awesome Improv show at the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts (YADA). I’ve been performing and curating this show for over ten years.

I studied acting with Steve Braun at Bramon Garcia Braun Studios for over five years.

I’m SAG/AFTRA. I've booked 20 commercials for brands such as Dole, Stanley Steemer, and Verizon, cast in a variety of roles... from a quirky mom to a sleek business woman to a chef.

In non-acting news... I collect vintage art pottery, love to garden, and love being wife to my talented husband, Ted, and mama to my sweet little girl, Harlow
