With a twin sister and a younger brother, Sharon loved climbing trees, riding her bicycle, singing in the choir, and playing records on her little turntable. Moved by stories big and small and with a vivid dream life, Sharons open heart and imagination led her to the stage, where she could embody and explore characters and their worlds. Bringing wit to drama and depth to comedy, Sharon guest-starred as a warm and authoritative physical therapist opposite Rocky Carroll on NCIS, Ep. 1603, appeared as a sassy wife in Modern Family, recurred as a selective fashion buyer in The Bold And The Beautiful, and played a driven tech C.E.O. negotiating a private-equity deal in series Cost Of Capital.
