I'm a New York–based SAG-AFTRA and AEA actress who specializes in playing tough, grounded women with humor and heart. I’m the youngest of four girls, born and raised in East New York, Brooklyn, so those specialties were cultivated early.
Before acting fully took over, my youth was spent dancing Salsa at The Copacabana. I still get to the dance floor at least once a month to keep the JOY of Salsa vibrating my bones.
The only thing that lights me up more is ACTING, especially digging into the messy ones that don't fit in 1 box. One of my favorite roles was as a busy caseworker who had to be both ‘good-cop/bad-cop’ to a group of paroled sex offenders in Downstate at Playwrights Horizons. It got me some lovely nominations too!
I bring a strong sense of realism to my work, shaped by lived experience, sharp listening, and a deep love for the funny, uncomfortable truths of life. Every time I step onto a Set or Stage to inhabit a new human, with all their complex, detailed surprises, I’m in my full element of JOY!
