Taken from her Official site I was born on January 1st in Washington, DC. Since that time I have been fortunate enough to travel all over the country and the world, but have come to call New York City my home. For a while I lived like any kid in a suburb of D.C. in Virginia. But in 1988 Les Miserables came to town casting the part of Young Cosette in the touring production of the show. I got the part, and toured with the show for a year, traveling to 26 cities in the U.S. with my grandmother, before being brought to Broadway -- where I played Cosette for another two years. After that, I moved to New York permanently, and became a working actor. For ten years I paid my dues working in theater - on Broadway and Off - and began to branch out into film and television. I was in the Will Rogers Follies on Broadway, where I learned, among other things, to tap dance and Western Rope (which have been surprisingly handy skills). I was also in shows at the Manhattan Theater Club, Circle in the Square, Bay Street Theater, Circle Rep Theater Lab, and John Houseman Theater.
In 1995 I was cast as Meghan Cooper, the daughter of Patti D'Arbanville, on New York Undercover, a police drama. I was also seen in a guest-staring role on Law and Order, and as Heather, an AIDS patient, on As the World Turns.
You might remember me from the hit film American Pie, where I played an innocent sophomore, Sarah, first experiencing the loud and lewd antics of Steve Stiffler at my first house party.
I spent the first half of this summer back in my hometown, in our nation's capital, interning at the White House. In an office of intelligent and dynamic people, I learned first-hand about politics and public service -- areas in which I became interested at college. My education has always been a top priority for me. I am currently on leave from Harvard University, where I study political and social theory. At school I take part in many activities that remain extremely important to me, including the Radcliffe Pitches (my a cappella singing group), the Seneca, the Hasty Pudding, and the Crimson Key Society. I hope you will take the time to visit their various websites, which I have linked to my homepage. Someday I will return to school to get my degree and resume these activities, but in the meantime I am looking forward to a different kind of education, in a field that will always be my primary passion.
