About Me

My heart has always been with theatre, whether in theatre camps as a kid, or joining crews and stage management teams as a teenager just to stay in the action. However, I knew it was the forever kind of love when I listened to Phantom of the Opera for the very first time in middle school and felt a world of possibilities open (if you're making a face right now just remember...we all have to start somewhere). I then devoured every show and cast recording I could get my hands on and never looked back. When I was in 8th grade, I confidently told my parents that I was going to pursue a career in the theatre, and was lucky enough to receive their full support. ​

 

I'm sure my younger self could not have planned for many of the twists and turns that have come my way, but the stars have never faded from my eyes. As an adult, I have happily made many of my young dreams come true: graduated with my acting degree, performed in New York, and have completed dozens of professional theatre contracts. In nearly a decade post-grad I have worked as an actor, director, stage manager, and educator. My most recent achievements are joining the theatre faculty at the University of North Texas, and becoming a proud union member of Actor's Equity.

While I continue to grow as an artist, I have the desire for others to be able to grow along with me. I would be nowhere without the dozens of educators and mentors that encouraged me and invested in me throughout my life. As I turn the corner from being a young artist to a mid-career professional, I aim to be the positive force in my theatre community that I benefitted from so much in my childhood. I have always been a dreamer, and now the dream will only grow sweeter by supporting young artists in my community as they pursue their dreams as well.
