Born and raised outside of Philadelphia, with Ukrainian immigrants on one side and Foreign Service Officers on the other, I'm well-versed in balancing diplomatic strategy with a heap of old world determination and a dash of Borscht belt comedy. I spent ten years in Brooklyn before the pandemic turned a west coast road trip into a permanent residency. Now, I call the east side of LA home, but you'll find me on JetBlue at least 1-2x a month heading back and forth to the Big Apple. Truly, I'm Carmen San Diego.

I’m incredibly passionate about developing new work and simultaneously love adapting theatrical classics for modern audiences. Aside from acting, I produce my one-woman Original American Idols series, co-own Innovative Voice Studio, chase my toddler around, and am always on the hunt for America's best chocolate chip cookie (got any recs??). 

In NYC, I've appeared Off and Off-Off-Broadway; In LA, in Hollywood; regionally at places like Paper Mill Playhouse, Bucks County Playhouse, and the Walnut Street Theatre; worked with with TONY winning directors like Jeff Calhoun, Kristin Hanggi, and Kathleen Marshall; have sung rich scores composed by writers including Sheryl Crow, Duncan Shiek, Steven Lutvak, Jason Robert Brown, Alan Menken, and Mark Shaiman; and performed roles that have garnered rave reviews and recognition, including a Carbonell Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical.

In another life, I’m a travel blogger, so performing across America has given me ample time to explore on my days off. If you’re itching to work with a collaborative team player who isn’t afraid to organize a cast field trip, a potluck, or a Secret Santa, I’m your gal.
