Bio
When I was a child, I fell in love with the magic of books and movies. I’m still in love today.
As an English Major at UCLA, I had the chance to attend Oxford University for a year. After that profound and romantic year, I knew two things – I wanted to go back to England and I wanted to study acting. So I finished my degree at UCLA, graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, then moved to London where I spent two unforgettable years studying acting and, eventually, performing in Covent Garden.
On returning to America I settled in New York, where I’ve been living since, acting, writing, creating. Today if I’m not in front of a camera, behind a microphone, or prepping an audiobook, I’ll probably be in the garden, knitting or sewing, cooking, or writing.
Some facts about me:
I was in the merchant marine! I signed on as messman and spent a summer sailing between Long Beach California and Valdez Alaska aboard the second largest tanker on the seas at the time.
I once modeled in a charity fashion show at the Oxford Union.
As lead singer in the pop rock band Primrose Hill, I got to sing – sometimes in French! – at some of New York’s most fun downtown venues, and with some incredible musicians.
I can bake anything. Even French macarons.

- This Play Misbehaves. Badly.
“This is not a play, it’s a fever dream” –Petron Brown
Got to play the White Woman in All White in this fever dream of a play, directed by the warm and generous Marissa Joyce Stamps, with a knock-out cast. Can’t wait to see what next steps this work takes!
- 44 Lights Off Broadway
After an incredibly compressed rehearsal process, we did it! 44 Lights, the new 9/11 themed musical, is now running off broadway at the AMT Theater. I love each and every cast and crew member on this project and am so, so happy to be part of it!

- And the Audie Goes To:
Us! We won!!!
I don’t typically think much of awards. Contests, comparisons, and rankings just don’t apply when it comes to creativity. But here’s the thing — being together with your colleagues, celebrating and recognizing them and their beautiful work, and them celebrating and recognizing you? That is truly special.
I applaud all this year’s winners, finalists, and everyone pouring heart, soul, sweat, and love into making stories that move us.
