I've been a professional union actor for over a decade in TV, film, voiceover, motion capture and commercials. I'm most often recognized as Gwen Tennyson in Ben 10, Ashley in Until Dawn, a four-season arc on ABC's The Middle, and guest stars on shows like This Is Us, Shameless, and countless more. I've also been an acting coach and teacher at one of the top Los Angeles acting studios since 2013 and I have clients all over the world. Many of my clients came to me as brand new actors or actors who were stuck in their careers, but now are series regulars on TV shows and starring in feature films.
