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 residency. While my address may be on the East Side of LA, you'll most likely find me on a JetBlue flight to/from NYC. Truly, I'm Carmen San Diego.
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.
