I’m a New York–born, London-based actor and writer working across theatre and film in both cities! The most magical moments of the past year were performing at Royal Albert Hall and creating Letters to Joan which debuted at Edinburgh Fringe and then in London

Hi Friend,
Thank you so much for visiting my website. I’m so happy you’re here. A project that came out of discovering hundreds of my grandparents’ 1956 love letters has become the most meaningful work I’ve ever done. If you want to read more about Letters to Joan and what’s next, click here!

Performing is where I feel most alive, and writing has been so fulfilling and given me agency through creating and producing my own work. I continue to write and act in both theatre and film, while exploring storytelling through my
blog and audio tours.
When I’m not writing or acting, you’ll usually find me eating a pastry in a café with a book, hosting a dinner party, swimming in the Hampstead Heath ponds, or saying yes to a spontaneous adventure.
SHOW REEL
From guiding audiences through Shakespeare’s forests in an immersive audio tour to bringing my grandparents’ love letters to life in Letters to Joan, my work transforms deeply personal material into intimate, shared storytelling. I have a BA from Duke University’s Theatre Studies program and have trained at RADA, The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, and Atlantic Theatre Company.

2026
Returning to the Edinburgh Fringe 2026 at Pleasance Courtyard, produced by Richard Jordan Productions in association with Pleasance, Letters to Joan enters its next chapter.
The play returns in an elevated new iteration, starring Samantha Streit alongside a new actor as Grandpa, giving the piece space to deepen its emotional architecture and connect more profoundly with new audiences.
Following its development as a work in progress, it is now ready to reach further with greater clarity, depth, and heart.
