Acting
On the set of Vetiver “Everyday” music video
2 seconds of fame in HBO’s Bored to Death with Zach Galifianakis and Jason Swartzman - Funnily enough - this was the 2nd chance meeting of both of them and then I got to work with my co-star in the montage Kimberly Magness on 7 Deadly Sins: Inside the Ecomm Cult.
Featured in Vh1 Commercial “If you like” directed by Bryan Buckley
Talk about Law of attraction… when I submitted for this part I knew it was meant for me from the title of the part “Robot Girl” Talk about inner knowing. I had a blast on the first audition, dressed the part on the call back and then got the call they picked me after auditioning actresses in Los Angeles and London for the same part. They found me in NY and flew me in Jetblue style (my favorite airline btw) and put me up in a hotel where for the first time got to use my new tool, Transcendental Meditation to ease the nerves of my first acting commercial experience.
Modeling
Career started when I was in third grade when I was in a math book for MacMillan and modeled coats for the clothing company Rothschild. I had my first official agent and headshots photographed by family friend and acclaimed photographer John Keating. This helped boost my self-confidence as I was extremely shy when I was younger. So shy that my Kindergarten teacher asked my Mom if I could speak. Yes, that shy.

These are a few pieces from my Xerox Art Series - I was stuck in an office at 3am interning and this piece came out of the materials and resources I had available to me. A color copy machine and office supplies. I always thought I could do art anywhere. Why not an office at 3 in the morning.
This series was mostly done on the LIRR while commuting to a job while I was in love. Had a blast doodling while others were reading the news.
