washed up child actor
procrastinating screenwriter
people pleaser*
*definitely not a direct cause of any of the above
Born and raised in New York City to a comedy writer turned news producer and a punk rock drummer. Former child actor, current tater tot connoisseur and future First Lady of literally anywhere. I'd be great at picking out fancy plates.
i went here
I will not, however, live forever or fly high unless Elon Musk wills it so.
this is where I went to high school. I was a drama major at LaGuardia High School for Performing Arts (you probably know it as the FAME school). There was lots of singing in the hallways and dancing on tables. Also, math sometimes and a great hash brown spot down Amsterdam.
B.A. in theater, accidental minor in Scandinavian Studies
2/5. Would not recommend.
this is where I went to college. Not my favorite experience, but I met very amazing people and discovered a deep love for writing and tater tots. Seriously, I had never had tater tots until I got to college. What the hell, mom??

There's a painfully hip mural in their reception area and the conference room has pens that are also highlighters. I love them.

SUNDANCE LAB SEMIFINALIST, "ISO"
a digital series I developed and co-wrote is named a semi-finalist in the Sundance New Voices Lab. Always a bridesmaid, amiright??
AFF FINALIST, "SWINGTIME"
"Swingtime", a digital series I helped develop and starred in, is named a finalist at AFF! We are inevitably beaten by a husband/wife team who cast an ensemble of former addicts to play former addicts. Game respect game.
