​About Me

photo: joe mazza –brave lux inc.

​ I am a Sag-Aftra actor, writer, and improviser.  I love imaginative and darkly funny things. ​ 

​

 I grew up in San Jose, California. I studied Theater and Writing in UC Berkeley. Then I moved to Chicago to train at The Theatre School at DePaul University and proudly graduated with an Acting MFA. ​ I've performed in Theater, TV, and Film all around Chicago since then. In 2025, I became a Second City Victor Wong Fellow. 

​

 I have two wonderful dogs (Yoshi the Australian Shepherd and Nessa the Whippet). I teach Theater to Kindergarten and 1st graders in Chicago Public Schools.  I love crocheting stuffed toys, Dungeon Mastering, and cooking really delicious Taiwanese food. My favorite TV show at the moment is Prime's Mr. and Mrs. Smith. ​
