Let’s get one thing straight: I am a mermaid who eats people.

I wish.

I was born in Los Angeles to Civil Rights lawyer parents, who, after one earthquake too many, packed up and headed for Chicago, where I was raised. My family history is baked in art and interesting stories—my great-grandfather, Ed Fox, was the Jewish immigrant founder and owner of The Grand Terrace nightclub, the biggest, baddest Chicago jazz club of the prohibition era, until he was murdered on the orders of Al Capone (YES, I am writing the script, DAD).

I came back out to Los Angeles for college (Loyola Marymount 17’) and have stuck around since, working in theatre before fully pivoting to film in 2020.
