About me…

Between acting roles, I played Sarah Connor in Terminator 2:3D The Battle Across Time, a live action stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood. I belly-crawled through mud in wet fatigues at Boot Camp with Capt. Dale Dye (USMC), did 40 foot free rappels while wielding an AR-15 and saved the world from cyber destruction 10 times a day for 14 years. It aded a dimension of grit to this conservatory-trained actor, who started her career in NYC working on soap operas and commercials and her nights in blackbox theaters.

When Director Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator) wanted a bad-ass Sarah Connor-type for his Portal: No Escape short, his stunt coordinator suggested me. It became a viral Sci-Fi hit with over 28 million views.

Whether I’m playing Hedda Gabler in a NYC basement theater or a 6’6” Turian alien squad-mate in Mass Effect: Andromeda, I love my strong characters with complicated hearts. I hope you will too.

If you need me, I’ll be in my WhisperRoom, recording audiobooks in the never-ending Battle against AI.
