actor. writer. dog mom.
What happens when the only Puerto Rican girl at a Jewish sleep-away camp gets cast as Aunt Eller with no songs in Oklahoma? She eventually becomes a professional actress, natch! I've had the honor of studying with some amazing acting teachers along the way. Among the finest have been: Carol Rosenfeld and the incomparable Uta Hagen at HB Studio; E. Katherine Kerr and her Four Principles, and most recently the magnificent Lee Brock, Co-Artistic Director of The Barrow Group. This amazing training has allowed me to perform on stages around the globe as well as in films and popular TV shows.
I also write. I did sketch comedy for years with the immensely talented Ted Baus. Baus and Troché performed at theaters, performance-art venues, clubs and cabarets throughout NYC and the country. We were awarded a Backstage Bistro award, as well as two consecutive Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs (MAC) awards for Best Comedy Group. We also had the singular honor of being thrown out and banned from performing in not one, but two New Jersey towns! The townsfolk in both Bayhead and Maplewood, New Jersey decided that our “Safe Sex” sketch was too obscene for their conservative towns (decide for yourself HERE). In recent years I have been writing TV projects with the remarkable Jane Dashow. Several TV pilots we've written have won awards at film festivals and have been workshopped with Hollywood show runners.

P.S. - I also have the cutest dog in the world, Herschel.
He's half dachshund and half pit bull. How it happened, who knows?
