I was born and raised in the grassy suburbs of Philadelphia with several dogs and an older brother. When not badgering my parents into getting another dog or swimming in the fishpond, I became quite involved in obsessively making art of any kind. I pursued a degree in fine art at Moore College of Art and Design followed by training in acting in NYC, most notably at The Strasberg Institute and Sally Johnson Studio. My leisure time is spent doing anything from playing with my dog in Prospect Park to making my own shoes. To be honest I have a difficult time determining what is “work” and what is “leisure” because everything I do is pretty creative and fun. Currently, I’m all about acting and filmmaking. My future aspirations involve more film work- more writing, directing and acting! Photography and film are appealing mediums to me because they're a way of experimenting with many different mediums and people and distilling the experience into one finished concept. My work is inspired by archetypes, potential and fairy tales both old and new.
