A character actor who can take the lead, I’m very expressive. Types include: wounded, fragile, manic, edgy, absurd, farcical, quirky, sexual, uptight and southern. Strengths lie in plays, both dramatic and comedic, with experience in period and contemporary, as well as musicals.

Comparisons: Melanie Lynskey, Kathy Bates, Sandy Dennis
