Hi, I’m Soph! I’m an NYC-based MFA-trained actor, singer, dance-lover, clown, mask-maker, interdisciplinary artist, and general multi-hyphenate performer. I have also lived in California, Munich, Montreal, and spent time in the American southwest. I love the backpacking in the high desert, yoga by the ocean, and long distance biking and running through NYC’s parks.

I have my MFA in Acting from UCI and my BA in Classical Voice and Drama from McGill University.

I am a proud member of Actors’ Equity Association.

I am signed with MC Talent Management and Avalon Artists Group.

On-screen, I’ve appeared in Netflix’s I Am No Longer Here directed by Fernando Frías de la Parra. I was also a featured vocalist on Portrait of Frances, Enclosed (Palm Springs 2020).

Recently, I’ve appeared in an SVA Thesis feature film called Emily, Rachel and Joseph (dir. Joseph O’Malley). You can see more about the project here. I play Tanya in the upcoming lesbian rom-com What Are We? (dir. Eileen Hanley).

On stage, I’ve worked regionally at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, Santa Cruz Shakespeare, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, Montreal Fringe, and PEI Fringe. In NYC, I’ve played Feste with The Acting Company, and I also work with The Village, The New York Neofuturists, F*cked Up Playfest, and Make/Shift Theatre Company.

I make my own work. Most recently I’ve been running a developmental cabaret called Kiss Your Darlings. It’s a laboratory where 4 different artists share their “Darlings” - the poems that didn’t make the book, the scene that got cut, the songs left off the album. We’ve appeared at Brick Aux, Makers Ensemble, and Bar Dada.

I sometimes write, sometimes devise, sometimes act, but mostly I love being able to create work that puts queer and trans creatives at the center.

I am also a writer and teaching artist. I teach Acting and Voice at AMDA in NYC. I specialize in Fitzmaurice Voicework and Knight-Thompson Speechwork. I also recently joined the Speech Faculty at AADA, also in NYC.

I coach privately, focusing on grad school audition prep and Shakespeare. Academically, I am primarily interested in the queer and/or female body’s radical occupation of public and performative spaces. This has manifested in performance art, activism, and publications. The coaching tab has more information about my writing and teaching.
