Bright-eyed young actress whose theatrical and TV career took off while she was still a college student with the title role in the lauded CBS Schoolbreak Special, "Abby, My Love" (1991) as an incest survivor, and on Broadway in "Some Americans Abroad", as one of the open yet philistine American tourists. Her mediterranean good looks have slated her for "ethnic" roles such as the young, Jewish Diane Lowe in the series, "I'll Fly Away" (1992), whose inter-faith romance is an issue in the small-town South of the 50s, and as an innocent Italian-American hairdresser Rose Polito, the lead in an episode of "Tribeca" (1993).

Her film credits include "Waterland" (1992), where she played one of the students, and "The Cowboy Way" (1994), portraying a kidnapped Cuban immigrant reliant on the hayseeds Kiefer Sutherland and Woody Harrelson.
