​

As a cast member of the 112th Second City Chicago Mainstage she currently performs sketch comedy nightly for thousands of adoring patrons. You can catch her performing there 6 nights a week! (Egats.)

​

In the past she has: written for comedy web-series Gay News & Barbara & Bennie, performed characters and impressions in the SNL Showcase 2022 & was of 14 featured performers in the CBS Showcase 2023, with her comedic short "Ashay" nominated for two national film festivals.

​

Before pursuing comedy full time in 2022, she was a tech worker (Ex-Amazon, Ex JPMorgan),  UPenn Alum (Psychology major) and a mezzo-soprano in the church choir. (Now, instead of church she prefers: yoga, meditation, and a dollop of existential spiraling).

She lives between being too-Jamaican-for-America and too American-for-Jamaica.

​

A dancer at heart, she loves training in street dance styles (such as: hip hop, waacking, house), and reading non-fiction books on philosophy, self-help and consciousness.

She is currently recording her 1st musical comedy EP.
