​Her comedic chops have taken her across the country to top venues including The Comedy Store, The Improv, Flappers, Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy, Harvey’s Comedy Club, and Don't Tell Comedy Phoenix.

She’s a finalist of the 2019 Portland Comedy Festival, a first-round winner at the 2021 Cactus Comedy Classic, and has opened for acts like Sam Miller, Lucas Dick, and Brandon Broady.

Radium Girls by D.W. Gregory is a historical drama based on the true story of young women who worked as dial painters in the 1920s and were poisoned by the radium-based paint they used, leading to a fight for justice against their employer, the U.S. Radium Corporation. The play follows dial painter Grace Fryer as she and other sick workers sue the company, highlighting themes of corporate responsibility, workers' rights, and the commercialization of science, all while showing the devastating health effects of radium exposure, such as bone disintegration. Written by D.W. Gregory and Directed by Terri McMahon
