Iris’s fascination with characters began early, mimicking favorites and inventing her own. Her passion found a true home in high school theater, leading her to earn a BA in Theater Arts & Technology from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Throughout her academic journey, she performed continuously on the Jim Wise Theater stage.

Equally adept at comedy and drama, Iris commits 100% to bringing characters to life. Notable stage credits include Brooke Wyndham in Legally Blonde, Suzanne Sacripant in Amélie, Peter in Peter and the Starcatcher, and Fabiana Cunningham in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot.

Expanding her craft to screen acting, Iris studied both sides of the camera and earned several accolades. She played ‘Shamaneen’ in the short film Not in Kansas (dir. Rodney Reyes) which won ‘Best Overall’ at the Virtual Arts 48 Film Challenge. Pangloss won Kevin Smith’s 37 Hour Short Film Festival at Smodcastle Cinemas where she plays ‘Maddie’. Behind the camera, she wrote and directed Salt & Sand, which took second place at the 2025 AP’N3 Short Film Challenge.

Simultaneously, Iris brings her signature versatility to modeling. She has worked with multiple indie clothing brands and large scale productions, excelling in collaborative, high demand environments.

For Iris, the heart of the craft is the experience itself. The moment she realized how seamlessly the cogs of a production move when there is undeniable chemistry, she fell in love with the work. Whether on stage, on screen, or behind the scenes, she thrives on taking risks and making the magic happen.

Off camera, she is a proud older sister to two younger brothers and a deeply devoted friend.
