My first ever original character was named Edward Lookaround, his whole deal was he looked around a lot, and he perplexed my 6th grade class! I've been making equally complex comedy ever since. I wrote and performed original characters at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre on the Characters Welcome team. Before that, I performed sketch comedy for years on Maude Night with teams Lake Fire and Choir. I also sang with the cast of Blank! The Musical! weekly as we improvised 75-minute musicals with a small band (who was also improvising)!

Other credits include Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO, Inventing Anna on Netflix, Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner A Thousand and One, and cult horror classic The Conjuring. I also starred in Clown Parade, a character comedy podcast presented by Will Ferrell, Bowen Yang, and Matt Rogers — in which I wrote and performed four episodes entitled “The Me in Mysticism,” all in character as narcissistic mystic, Katinka.

I received my improv and sketch comedy education at The UCB Theatre and The Annoyance.  I also received extensive training from the Accadamia Dell'Arte in Commedia Dell'Arte, considered by many to be the fountainhead of improv & sketch comedy. I have a BA in Drama from Davidson College, where reading Death of a Salesman too many times is largely to thank for my tendency to play ineffective businessmen as often as possible in my comedy.
