THIS IS MY STORY

"To be or not to be?" is not the question. The question is, “Should we work together?!” If you want a versatile actress who can embody strong characters AND can still be the all American girl next door AND can be your “grew up too fast” indie darling- then you’ve come to the right actress. In Arkansas, I grew up with a mixture of that sweet southern charm that made me fun and likable (I hope). But then I was also living in a place where ran around in the woods and pretended I was an action hero. From the time I could walk, I would imagine myself as a heroine named “Supergirl.” Why does that matter? In the middle of all that was a deep desire for connection and an interest in the profound workings of what it means to be human and a desire to be MORE than myself. So you'd think acting was a pretty obvious choice? Actually it wasn’t. I started acting totally on accident. I had no idea what "drama" was but I needed an elective, and art was full, so I put my name down. But from my first monologue I was hooked. 

 

Since coming to LA, I have starred in numerous short films and had the honor of treading several LA Stages. I have primarily worked on feature films the last few years, "Picture Perfect Lies," "Love at the Lodge" and other leading roles in "The Circular City" and "Angel Mountain." I have several TV roles as well: a  co-star role on "All American" (the CW),  a lead role on "Betrayed" (Investigation Discovery), and a co-star on Wild West Chronicles (INSP). I am honored to have received several laurels for my work, which include Best Actress wins (Offerings) , and Best Supporting Actress (Substitute You-48 Hour Film Fest) and Best Acting Duo (AAgnostic) Nominations. 

Most recently, I jumped in the drivers seat of making my own work, and "His Forbidden Sword" the short film that I wrote, directed, and acted in (never again, folks) is making the festival rounds, recently picking up a "Best First Time Filmmaker" nomination. I am so excited to see what this little film will accomplish!

When not working on projects, I can be found working at a Mental Health Clinic where we help young adults find jobs or go back to school while recovering from mental health issues or addictions. 

 

If any of this makes you think I might be someone fun to work with (and I promise you I am- I love a good collaboration!), then reach out and let’s find a way to work together!
