I live in Brooklyn, NY with my husband Jesse Liebman and my daughter, Ruby. I grew up in Connecticut, the Philippines, and Texas. Having moved to New York in 1994, I feel pretty at home here.
I got very serious about pursuing a dance career in my teens and went to The Juilliard School to earn my BFA in Dance. After graduating I joined the Jose Limon Dance Company, danced and toured nationally and internationally, but then the acting bug bit me hard. I found the Actors Center and did a life changing nine-month conservatory before deciding to go to grad school for acting at Brown/Trinity in Providence, RI. Since school I have slowly found ways to merge my dancing and acting skills together.
I love to move, so highly physical roles and characters excite me. Being able to collaborate with other artists to tell a compelling story is most important to me. I firmly believe that an actor can say so much with just the body.
When I am not acting or choreographing, I am being a mom and staying as active as I can. I like to find ways to bring my community of artistic friends together, whether it's working on a theater project, or just having them over for dinner!
