I've performed my one-of-a-kind puppetry and comedy on stages from sea to shining sea.

 

I've frolicked on the stages of The Jim Henson Company, SF Sketchfest, The Magic Castle, Largo at the Coronet and many more.

​

I've also worked as a puppeteer and actor on TV projects: a charming commercial with director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), shadow puppets on Amazon Prime's Hand of God, marionettes with MTV and creature effects on IFC. 

 

I dabble in many styles of puppetry.

​

In 2018 I received a grant from Heather Henson, daughter of Muppets creator Jim Henson, to create a short film, Bunny Love, which you can watch on Amazon Prime

​

I also work as a publicist and am the mother to fur daughter and Toto look-alike, Miss Frankie Sinatra.

​​​​​​​

You can see more of my work on YouTube and Instagram.
