Influential Professors or Classes:
Each of my professors at UT taught me something that I've carried with me into the 'real world,' so it's really tough to single one out…I'd have to say that the New Works Festival and the collaboration between the playwriting and acting programs were fantastic components of the training, as they allowed us to workshop material and experiment together. And Fran and Lucien put together a superb showcase for us at the end of our tenure-it really helped to launch us into the city.

Biography:
I'm currently performing in Alice (squared) in NYC, and after we close, I'll be performing the role of Mephistopheles in Faust at FirstWorksProv (Providence, RI). In January, I head to Florida to work on my one-woman show as part of the Escape to Create residency program. Other recent projects include assistant directing and understudying for The Revenger's Tragedy (Red Bull Theater) and devising choreography for War Music (with fellow alum Elena Araoz), which premiered at FirstWorksProv and will be remounted at the Chicago Humanities Festival this fall. Recent professional acting credits include The Information She Carried at the Access Theatre and readings at the Pearl Theatre, NYTW and The Directors Company. I also appeared as a guest star on Law & Order: Criminal Intent last fall.
