Happy St. Patty's Day and HIMYM!

March 17, 2010



Shoot, I'm not wearing green. Luckily there's no one around to pinch me ;). That said, Happy St. Patty's Day to you! I hope a whole heapful of that good 'ole Irish luck is poured out all over you until you're practically swimming in gooey goodness!

Speaking of good fortune - I just worked on the wonderful show HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. The episode airs on CBS in May but I will say this - it was so great to watch the series and guest cast do their thing! I play a Hannah, a guest at a high-society New York party, who may or may not talk to Barney;). I feel so "lucky" to be a part of it and I look forward to telling you more about it as the air date approaches, but until then... here's wishing you all the best!

MELROSE PLACE Episode Airs Tomorrow!

March 15, 2010

So, I'll tell you a little secret - I used to want to be a doctor, specifically a pediatric oncologist that finds the cure to cancer. My future didn't quite play out the way I'd imagined it would at the ripe old age of thirteen... (maybe because I didn't have the stomach for cutting up cadavers or the desire to study advanced chemistry...hmmm.) But there's some good news that has come out of this sad, sad confession... guess what?!

I am playing a doctor (actually, a resident;) on MELROSE PLACE tomorrow on the CW! I may not be working on finding the cure to cancer - yet - but I will be working in the ER opposite Lauren Jung (played by the lovely and talented Stephanie Jacobsen) on the episode entitled "Stoner Canyon." Tune in to find out more! And thanks again Brett, Collin and Sherie Jane of Greenstein/Daniel Casting!

Three National Commercials Airing!

March 11th, 2010




I feel so blessed. The sun is shining in the Southern California sky, the birds are chirping, happy to be alive, and I have THREE national commercials running. Yay!!! Lots to be thankful for.

So, if you see a girl in a KELLER SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, WELLS FARGO and/or US ARMY commercial that looks eerily like me - it is me! :D

If you'd like, you can view the Devry Keller School of Management spot here!

Just Shot DEVRY UNIVERSITY National Commercial!

January 8, 2010


Gotta love those national commercials. I just had the good fortune of booking and shooting a spot for the DeVry University's KELLER GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, in the role of a grad student. Big thanks to my agent, Larry Weidemann at CESD for submitting me.

The client, ad agency and crew were a joy to work with. And, what's more, I had the great pleasure of working alongside the lovely Laura Leyva, who played the role of a professor. The cool thing is that not only is Laura an experienced actress, but she's also a teacher at Stella Adler School for Acting in Los Angeles. So, true to form, she taught me some things about Stella's philosophy that really hit home. Did I use what I learned in the commercial? Not really. Will I implement what I learned in the future? Definitely!

Hope you're having a beautiful day!!

Love.

Just filmed national WELLS FARGO commercial!

December 18, 2009


Just had a great day on set filming a national Wells Fargo spot directed by the talented Phil Morrison who also directed the lovely film Junebug and directs the ingenious "I'm a Mac " campaign.

I play a Wells Fargo banker and after doing some research on the company's illustrious history and their commitment to diversity, I'm so proud to now be a little part of the Wells Fargo story.

I hope you're enjoying the last days of this decade - spending it with loved ones and enjoying some well-deserved R&R.

See you in 2010!
