A couple weeks ago, my friend Tim Oakes called me up to tell me that he was driving into CA from Arizona, and that we should film something while he was here. I thought that was a great idea, so he picked out a pre-existing comedic scene, and I put together a crew. With Tim’s help, we adapted the script of the scene to better fit our circumstances, and got to work. The Test was the product of our teamwork, and I’m extremely proud of it!

And I definitely couldn’t have done it without the incredible talents of Chris Khashan, Kira Tityuk, and Spencir Bridges, who were, as always, a joy to work with!

Using the equipment and skills that I either had or could borrow from friends, I wrote and filmed a scene with fellow actress Charlie Parker! I play Melanie, an incoming sophomore with some pretty hefty resentment for her older sister. Here it is:

I also had help from Chris Khashan and Johanna Liauw, two incredibly talented filmmakers!

I recently finished The Acting Center’s Audition Intensive, a 2-week online intensive taught by Eric Matheny. We had faux auditions and callbacks, and I learned so much. I always love taking classes from The Acting Center!

I recently filmed the trailer and a juicy scene from the award-winning script of Andrew Pinon’s Crossbow Creek! I play Morgan, a bridesmaid who never stands up for herself… until it’s too late.

Here’s my clip from the scene:

And here’s the full trailer:

Kansas, written and directed by Josh Isaacson, is now on IMDB! I played Jenny, a younger sister who’s struggling to get her life together after the death of her father. Check it out here!

The Art of Survival, written and directed by Gregory Armstrong, is now up on IMDB! I played Alice; “a young woman married to an increasingly paranoid survivalist in rural Idaho [who] escapes using the skills he taught her.” You can check it out here.

My new reel is here!

Thanks for watching!

Here’s Annie in Out of the Office, a short by Bailey Baptista at APU. She’s a sweet receptionist with a huge capacity for forgiveness.

Just finished my second and final week of The Acting Center’s Breakthrough Intensive! It blew my mind wide open. Thank you Eric Matheny and Amanda Rogers for teaching me to be as imaginative as possible!

I recently took a virtual trip to Italy, and decided to create a character that was inspired by a piece of artwork! I couldn’t shut up about the ceilings in the Vatican Museums, so here it is:

I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
