About me
Before moving to NYC, I performed in seven cities in the southern Ohio region, Columbus included. I have since performed in musicals & cabarets in both Manhattan and Long Island. I have been a proud member of the EMC program since 2018. I am a one-time regional BroadwayWorld award winner, a four-time nominee, & I placed in the top 25 for their first “Next on Stage” competition in 2020. In July of 2022, I was selected to perform at The Town Hall in the annual “Broadway Rising Stars” concert, directed by Scott Siegel.
Since graduation, I’ve been working very hard to make “the thing” happen. :) Regardless of how challenging this career path is & how man no’s you’ll hear before your first big YES!, I remind myself that I have what I’ve always wished and prayed for: the chance to try. Thank you so much for reading if you’ve gotten this far. Follow along with my journey— it’s bound to be an exciting one. Thanks a ton & God bless. <3

I was born an only child to the greatest parents God could’ve whipped up in a small town in southeastern Ohio. I fell in love with theater & decided it was my destiny at the ripe age of 10 years old & have never looked back. There weren’t any drama, choir, or dance programs of any kind at my school growing up, so I would have to travel as far as an hour and a half one way to get my dose of performing. When senior year rolled around, I auditioned for 15 musical theater programs— none of which were in the state of Ohio. I knew if I were too close to home, it’d be too easy to give up and move back. I wound up at Marymount Manhattan College in the fall of 2019 & graduated in three years with my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theater. I am now based in NYC and playing the role of “Starving Actress”.
