Punk rock and pullin' no punches!

Bio


I was born and raised in the back woods of Virginia, NOVA as they called it. About 30 min from D.C. It was a freakin’ jungle!  At five, my Grandma Bea showed my picture to a talent agent and I was off on my career as a child model and actress. Shortly afterwards, I became a member of SAG and AFTRA. Wanna see some of that early work? Check my Reel page. I was a cute kid!

After many trials and tribulations, I got my big break…at age seven. I was cast as “Susie-Q” in John Waters’ film CRY-BABY. I got to work with Johnny Depp when he was still young and Ricki Lake when she was still…well, big boned.  CRY-BABY became an instant cult-classic and sometimes I get fan mail, which is cool.  Through high school, I did professional theater, performing at The Kennedy Center and with The Washington Opera Company, and lent my talents to commercials and voice over. Then I took a break and got dual degrees in Classics and Marketing from the prestigious College of William and Mary, cause that was the “smart” thing to do.

Following college, I was all like “screw you east coast!”, high-tailed it out to Los Angeles, and been lovin’ it there ever since!  In the City of Angeles, I’ve been cast in over a dozen independent films and made my TV debut, guest-starring on CBS’ hit show CRIMINAL MINDS.

I also launched a highly-successful writing career, authoring multiple scripts and mentoring other writers. One of my scripts, LITTLE GLASS GIRL placed in three writing competitions and was optioned soon after, securing me a literary manager and multiple writing contracts.

In 2009, I started quite possibly the most awesome thing I’ve ever done: Sonic Bunny Productions. It’s an animation studio specializing in adult comedy for TV. So check it out!

I’m nothing less than tough, ambitious, and driven. Like a true entrepreneur, I diversify by keeping my tiny hands in multiple fires, whether it be acting, producing or writing.
