I studied acting at NYU, spending most of my time at the Stella Adler Studio and the Experimental Theatre Wing (ETW). Adler teaches a classically based, feel-it-then-do-it approach while ETW is centered more around harnessing your impulses and the do-it-then-feel-it acting technique. They evened each other out rather nicely.

I also spent two months in Amsterdam at the International Theatre Workshop. This training touched on both classical and experimental elements, but it was the focus on devising your own material that has really stayed with me.

Since graduating, I’ve been involved in off-off-Broadway shows, downtown performance art, never-finished student films, low-budget horror movies, dinner theatre, readings, workshops and even a musical. Having recently decided that I’d like to work more on my own terms, I’ve been focusing on strengthening my comedic muscles and choosing projects that keep me feeling inspired.
