As the baby of five, I have always had a love and curiosity for people. This curiosity drew me towards the portrayal of different characters, lifestyles, and personalities. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, I tend to approach new opportunities in a "pollyanna with a twist" mindset. 

I began acting at the age of 14 and fell in love. I find inspiration in the awkwardness of everyday life, and there is rarely a time when I am not writing or collaborating with other talented individuals. 

I attended Chapman University and received my BFA in Screen Acting. Since graduating I have only continued my training, both in class and through private instruction. Straight out of college, I was cast as the lead in my first feature film, The Axiom (Amazon Prime). The film has traveled internationally to many acclaimed festivals including the Cannes, Sitges, and Bucheon. This trajectory lead me to star in several other notable independent films (Silhouette, Parallax, etc). You can also find me in many acclaimed short films including, Sam & Emma (12X festival winner, YouTube), The Witch, For Evan's Sake, and many more. Additionally, I have hit the ground running these last few years as the spokeswoman for several notable brands (Raindrop Agency, Goose Creek Candles, Omnipod, etc).

While my passion will always be to play and create in front of camera, I wear many hats when it comes to filmmaking. I recently launched my own production company, Chattie Productions, with my collaborator. We have written and produced two short films (Up For Air, Aftertaste), both of which have done exceptionally well in festivals. Combined, the two films have received 14+ festival selections, as well as several awards, including Best Actress. We are currently working on our 3rd short, as well as a feature and a series! 

 I adore my family & friends, a trip to the market, getting outdoors, chocolate, and a nice dry sense of humor... CHEERS!
