Hometown: Greenbelt, Md.
Representation: Kris Koller, Seven Summits
Credits: “Parenthood” (TV); “American Horror Story” (TV)
Training: I studied at HB Studios in Greenwich Village, where I learned how to be alone in front of an audience. HB Studios is hands down the best place to fall in love with acting.
Favorite acting job: Playing Zoe on “Parenthood” was the most rewarding experience I’ve had as an actor. Zoe was dynamic—she wasn’t just some downtrodden pregnant chick; she was this funny, sarcastic, tough woman but also a frightened little girl.
