Summer 2023

I'm looking forward to getting started on multiple awesome projects this summer!

First up, I'll be making my Evil Panda Films on-screen debut in Dinner With Friends, a comedic short film created and written by Mando Franco. I love this team and am excited to create more with them!

I've joined the cast of Memoirs From Under The Yellow Sun: A Supermen Mini Series produced by DJCFilmz & 50 Caliber Productions. I'll be playing the iconic Supergirl/Kara Zor-El role and couldn't be more excited to be making my on-screen superhero debut with this team!

Pre-production is underway for Alpine Roasters and is set to start production in July! I've joined the stellar cast as Peggy, the sassy & sincere long-time barista of the immigrant-owned coffee shop the sitcom centers around. So excited to work on creating magic on screen with this team for this one! 

And last but not least, I will be part of the cast of RBG Studio's Director's Cut: A Scream Fan Film. We'll begin filming at the end of June! Support the film and help get it made here! It's going to be a slashing good time!

Bye bye for now NYC! I'll be back!  Hello St. Louis - it's nice to see ya!  While industry opportunities remain virtual I decided it was time to travel!

August 2020
 

Need a fitness trainer? I'm your girl! Due to the pandemic, I had an obscene amount of time on my hands.  While I continued working on my craft through virtual projects and classes I also studied for and passed my Personal Training exam through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and started O'Connell Coaching, my online personal training business that specializes and training actors.  Athletics and fitness are things I've always been passionate about and the lifestyle of being an artist has inspired me to help others find their strength mentally and physically! Check out the "Fitness Coaching" tab here on my site for more info!
