I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, and went to college at Illinois State University where I graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Acting. Post-grad I took a gap year down in Charleston, SC, and happened to fall in love with living by the beach only to move to Atlanta, GA where the closest thing to a beach is the silty shore of the Chattahoochee. Ah well. Less beaches, way more acting opportunities. A girl can still be happy.

Outside of acting and photography, I love to read! I average somewhere around 45-55 books a year. My preferred genres are literary fiction, fantasy, and romance. I also love going on walks, picking up random crafts for two weeks, drinking hot tea (never coffee), calling my mom, and baking banana bread. If you’re nice enough to me I might even bake you a loaf :)
