I was raised by rock stars and jazz singers in the quiet town of Las Vegas, Nevada. With two professional musicians for parents (and no siblings to hang out with) I spent my childhood in green rooms and concert venues, aching to get in front of an audience myself. It’s the family business, after all! My love for the stage was matched only by my love for books, which eventually grew to be a committed relationship with theatre — the only logical next step for a little girl obsessed with stories. I moved to Seattle when I was 14, and found myself head-over-heels for musical theatre, which combined my two great loves.

After being fortunate enough to land a few regional theatre contracts in Seattle during high school (5th Avenue Theatre, Village Theatre, SHOWTUNES), I decided to move clear across the country to Pittsburgh for college, and entered Point Park University’s BFA Musical Theatre program. I spent two years training in this program, before catching an itch to get out in the world as soon as possible and start making a career for myself (little did I know when I made this decision in 2019, that the world would shut down a year later…) I followed my impulse, and switched from a four-year degree in Musical Theatre to a three-year degree in Theatre Arts, adding a Minor in English Literature as I went in honor of the little girl reading The Boxcar Children in Las Vegas dressing rooms. 

When the pandemic hit, my life changed course entirely, and I ended up bouncing back and forth between horse-ranching in Idaho, training to be a sommelier in Aspen, and doing film work in Los Angeles. I moved every six months, spent many long days and weeks with my life packed into my car, and loved every minute of it. (I’ll still talk your ear off about horse ranching and wine if you give me the chance). But something was missing; something I wouldn’t get back until theaters once again opened their doors.

Today, I’m a resident of Brooklyn, NY, and thrilled to see the industry making a comeback post-COVID. I’m more in love with performing than ever, and eternally hungry to learn, see, and do more.
