I Love To Make Work.

I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. I grew up in Dallas, TX where I had a strong collaborative relationship with my stuffed animals at an early age and where I put my younger brother in costumes and gave him blocking as soon as he could walk and kind of talk.

​

I am the granddaughter of an East Texas preacher and a West Texas rancher. I grew up with campfires and family stories and family songs. 

ABOUT

I love to make work with people who love to make work. 


I have a BA in English from Rice University and an MFA in Acting from American Conservatory Theater. I’ve lived and worked in Houston, London, San Francisco, New York and now Austin, TX, where I work in TV, film and theater.

I am a certified Pilates instructor and love just about any type of movement. I am a professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at The University of Texas at Austin where I teach Acting, Voice, and Movement and am Co-Head of the BA program.

​

My husband and I have two energetic, imaginative kids. I’m also a cat mom, an aspiring gardener, and a big fan of books.

MR. ROOSEVELT + SONG TO SONG

SXSW 2017 FILM FESTIVAL

In 2017 I made my SXSW premiere in two films! Mr. Roosevelt, directed by and starring Noël Wells (my scene is with her!), won the festival’s audience award for Narrative Spotlight and the Lewis Black “Lone Star” Award. Terrence Malick’s Song to Song opened the festival to a packed house and I got to watch myself yell at Ryan Gosling and Michael Fassbender on a huge screen.
