I was born and raised in London, England. My father, Robert, is a true Brooklynite, and my mother, Iris, is from Honduras. Thanks to her and French grade school, I speak three languages.
At the age of 12, I, and my soon-to-be-extinguished British accent, moved to Miami, Florida.
My sister and I grew up swimming competitively until high school when I got accepted into the New World School of the Arts’ acting program in downtown Miami. From there, I went on to Marymount Manhattan College in New York City. Immediately following graduation, I booked the first of my three Broadway Shows, and since then, I’ve performed and worked on some amazing projects in both Film and TV; Rock of Ages, Step Up Revolution and Mozart in the Jungle and One Life to Live, respectively. There are also a few episodes of Lip Sync Battle and SNL for which I appeared and performed throughout my career.
In addition to being an actor, I’m a foodie who loves to cook. I CrossFit regularly. I love pop music and I’m super passionate about fashion. But nothing makes me feel as good as bringing a writer’s words to life. Above all else, acting is where my heart is.

Dear Readers, you may recall that several years ago there was a new musical that came through town, about Princesses (even called that), that many consider, including myself, to be one of the worst things they've ever seen. But as bad as it was, it had three things going for it. First, there was a story built around a Father's love for his daughter. Second, there was a hunky boy-band type, who may have creeped many out with his utterly rapey song a?oeJust Say Yesa??, but he was still pretty. And third, and most importantly, the show featured one truly great song that spotlighted the quirkier and subordinate a?oePrincessesa?? of the bunch. Cut to 2020 and enter the 5th Avenue Theatre's latest new musical venture, a?oeBlissa?? that, while having no real connection to that other one, blissfully and coincidentally contains those three elements and runs with them, while tossing the rest of that dreadful show into the infernos of musical theater hell (along with the likes of a?oeFlashdancea?? and a?oeLove Never Diesa??). And while a?oeBlissa?? may still have some work to do to make it truly shine (which we'll get to in a minute), it's still a delightfully fun romp into the woods with some Princess archetypes who aren't the norm but should be.
The 5th Avenue Theatre has announced complete casting for the world premiere of Bliss, an empowering original musical fantasy that flips the traditional princess narrative upside down.

Is there anything that Mark Lamos can't do extremely well when it comes to theater? His latest show at the Westport Country Playhouse, Man of La Mancha, is beyond masterful, from the direction to the performances to the choreography to the set design. Even if you think you've seen this show at least once before, you haven't really seen it until you've seen Lamos's Man of La Mancha. Dale Wasserman's book, Mitch Leigh's music, and Joe Darion's lyrics are still delightful, but Lamos's magic touch adds so much more.

Directed by Mark Lamos, Westport Country Playhouse artistic director, the story of Quixote's battle for good and the love of his fair maiden is written by Dale Wasserman, with music by Mitch Leigh, and lyrics by Joe Darion.
