I am an actor and writer based in New York

and my favorite place in the world is the rehearsal room! I seek stories that center women and black folks, conjure some magic, and remind us what we owe each other.

Recent theater credits include the leading roles: Kitt in cityscrape by Sophie McIntosh, Yam in before the flood by Emily Bice, Beatrice in Utah Shakespeare Festival’s tour of Much Ado About Nothing, and Woman in Lydia Sabatini’s one woman show You Are What You Eat.

On screen: Dumb Money (Sony Pictures). Upcoming: The Philosophy of Dress, directed by Cyrus Duff, starring Sydney Lemmon and Gestations directed by Chris Del Rio Solorzano.  Previously I played Dorothea Brooke in Middlemarch, a 70-episode web series lovingly reviewed in The New Yorker and Paris’ Le Monde.

I am also dancing and directing and dramaturging about town. I maintain a Substack about books, theater and, accidentally, god.

B.A. Religious Studies, Yale University.
