A Jill of All Trades, Master of Many!

Before launching an acting career New York, I was pursuing my other passions - namely food & wine, costuming, and traveling. Today, I'm proud to be an artist and recent transplant to the Boulder, CO community. 
 
Below you'll find my resume with highlights from my restaurant career and my entrepreneurial ventures.  Future plans include opening a hookah bar, pursuing a degree in Somatic Psychology, founding a yurt community with a sustainable alpaca farm, and authoring a text on the spiritual endowments of the craft of acting.
