ORIGINATED A ROLE!
I am so excited to share that I originated the role of JEN in a new play by Bryelle Burgus called Fairly Odd Attempts at Fulfilling Wishes. This play is fantastic, and JEN is one of my favorite characters I've ever played. I hope to revisit this piece and this character soon!
AIR DATES!
Remember that guest star spot I shot and how that role got expanded into a recurring guest spot? Well I can finally announce that my episodes of EVIL LIVES HERE and EVIL LIVES HERE: SHADOWS OF DEATH are airing! I play the character Diane. Watch the trailer here! Tune in on April 10th at 9pm & 10pm on the Investigation Discovery (ID) Channel! Don't have that channel? No problem! My episode of EVIL LIVES HERE (s.11 e. 08) is currently streaming on Discovery+

A Show About Coworkers is now streaming!
A Show About Coworkers is here and is enjoying loads of success on the festival circuit! This delightful comedy was written and directed by Ian Brodsky and produced by Dapper Devil Productions. I'm a series regular. I play Mariana- an Italian immigrant in the US, working at...a company that shall remain nameless. Each episode is less than 3 minutes long- I'm told it's "very bingeable"- and now it's streaming on Vimeo!
Check out these festival selections and awards!
