I was born in Long Island, New York. I came out of my mother’s vagina singing and dancing. Always putting on a show, I dreamed of becoming a famous actor. That is until Britney Spears came out and I dyed my hair blonde, had my belly button pierced, got some red pleather pants and vowed to be a pop star. Getting a record deal in high school, I moved to LA alone and worked on my album. I realized it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be and got into comedy because that’s easier, right? I was the youngest graduate of the Second City conservatory and performed with them for five years. I also performed with Groundlings, UCB, ImprovOlympic and did stand up all over opening for some pretty big performers. Getting close to some major parts, but not getting them I decided to go to nutrition school to have the backup plan I always swore off. After living in LA for 8 years, I moved back to New York still working on everything that inspires me.

The Most Played Song On My iTunes: RADIOHEAD, “Pyramid Song”…but actually at the moment “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry because inside I’m actually 17 and it reminds me of a guy I recently met.
