I was born and raised in the small town of Liberty New York, in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, one hundred miles northwest of New York City. I went to college at SUNY Stonybrook and graduate school at the Anneneberg School of Communications at University of Pennsylvania. My family currently lives in Venice CA. I practice yoga, love riding my bike, am an avid theatergoer and ‘Hamilton’ is my favorite musical of all time.
