Comedian, journalist, and short story writer
I tell stories and connect with people through everything that make this world a weird, wonderful and funny place!
You might know me from my critically acclaimed role as human woman, but I'm also a comedian, journalist, and published short story writer.
Growing up in an Irish-Catholic family, jokes were more a tool of survival than anything else. I cut my teeth on holiday dinners and long road trips, but sharpened those skills at SAK Comedy Lab, UCB, and Second City, studying and performing sketch, freestyle rap, and improv in various venues.
I studied English literature, journalism, and political science at the University of Central Florida and NUI Galway

From there, I went on to work as a print and digital journalist at The Village Daily Sun, The Community Paper, and WKMG-TV, a CBS affiliate in Orlando, where I've seen/written enough Florida man/woman/non-binary stories to last 10 lifetimes and entertain any dream dinner party guest.
I've written everything from newsletters, breaking news articles, and feature pieces to scripts, short stories, and grocery lists. I won tenth place in the 2022 NYC Midnight 100-word microfiction competition, had a story published in "On the Run," a contemporary flash fiction website, and have a story set to feature in a forthcoming episode of "Cast of Wonders."
When I'm not writing or performing on stage, you can find me…
binge-watching (insert show everyone is raving about here) and then watching every interview with the cast and crew known to humankind on YouTube to get the obsession out of my system.
My inability to sit still has translated into an expensive habit of purchasing plane tickets. I am constantly curious about the world and people around me—everyone's stories are far more interesting than my own (I say on my personal website)—and have backpacked, worked, studied and holidayed (is that even a word?) in 37 countries and counting.
Check me out on stage!
