Performance with The Red Skies Music Ensemble as Emily Dickinson

You can read more about the event that took place in her hometown of Amherst, Massachusetts here.

A leading role in a new short film The Score

My costume for the shoot.

I recently shot a leading role in a hilarious and moving short film called, The Score by writer/director Flora Birnbaum. Flora Birnbaum is currently a Sundance New Voices filmmaking fellow and her digital series Cleansed (Executive Produced by Leslye Headland) premiered at SXSW this past spring. Most recently, Flora served as a Staff Writer on the first season of the new Netflix series Russian Doll (EP'd by Amy Poehler, Leslye Headland, and Natasha Lyonne). It was a great shoot and I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Season One of Joined at the Nip is Now Live!

All 8 episodes of the web series I co-created and star in are now online! You can go to our YouTube Channel to check them all out! Comedy Cake said our series, "consistently delivers belly tickling laughs." Read the full article here!

Joined at the Nip is about two women, a cockeyed optimist and an excitable agoraphobe who are head over heels in platonic love, and the absurd comedy and joy that bloom from the everyday banalities of building a home and sharing a life with someone—in this case, that someone being “just” a friend. The series examines intimacy at one of its lesser-observed heights: within female friendship. It dissembles the patriarchal stereotype that women are designed to hate on other women, proving female friendship is a force to be reckoned with.
