Biography

Biz (as she has been known almost her whole life) is originally from Columbus, Ohio and got her B.A. in Fine Arts at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She has spent the majority of her life in the entertainment industry, having dedicated the past several years to casting. She is a proud member of the casting union, Local 399, as well as a member of the Casting Society of America. She started out as a working actor in her 20s in commercials and on the stage, doing sketch comedy and improv with her improv group, Improvocative and at ACME Comedy Theater. She is a professional photographer and while she made her living shooting headshots and marketing photos for the website Daily Candy, she loves travel photography most of all (probably due to her voracious love of traveling). On the side, Biz enjoys producing satellite media tours (a nod to her college degree in stage management) and co-producing modern radio dramas with her friends. She is a proud Mama as well as Auntie.

In 2020, BUNK'D was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Children's or Family Viewing Program. In 2021, it was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Casting for a Live-Action Children's Program.
