​        Thanks for stopping by and getting acquainted!

I'm an actress based in Montana and willing to travel! (+ COVID vaccinated 4/12/2021)  I've honed my acting craft in the wilds of the mountains trekking to the markets in LA, Portland, and Atlanta for film acting training, coaching, and acquiring industry standard tools.  I've been building a film acting resume with many film communities with tenacity, intuition, and resourcefulness. In my best dreams, I'd love to  
film and work with ​David Fincher, Stephen Spielberg, Greta Gerwig, Todd Phillips,
Chloé Zhao​, and Christopher Nolan. 
"Live with gusto from your soul's deep truth."
​
I love inspiring people through acting to think, conversate, open their eyes and heart
to their intrinsic possibility, magic, and wonder to be fully free

​Mary showed up for one day of shooting on the set of my senior thesis film. While we had discussed the character beforehand, we had not rehearsed until mere hours before her scene. Nevertheless, Mary exhibited the utmost professionalism and delivered a stunning performance. Even in her one and a half minutes of screen time she absolutely stole the scene.
I was blessed to have her talent on set and
​would jump at the chance to work with her again.

I know that having you on set really helped to tune their performances in and it was amazing to see the difference you were able to make. I learned a lot being that this was my first time directing something this big, and thanks to you I had a great source to pull from so I can get better performances in my future projects. Thank you so much for being a part of this film, Mary! You're awesome!

Characters I've been cast as:  professor, mom, love interest, salesgirl, wife (abused and the good wife),
mistress, psychiatrist, mentor, hot mess and the girl next door.
My work's been referred to as captivating and has been noted for its vibrant energy, strength, and versatility comparable to
that of Jessica Lange.  My presence has been likened to the luminosity, infectious spirit of Julia Roberts.
