More recently, my New York based projects included the developmental reading of OH, KENTUCKY! by Ellie Sorota and Suzanne Hayes, where I played the female lead, Emma Jane, a spitfire school teacher fighting for her family’s farm during the Great Depression. I also starred as Jan/Karen in the off-off Broadway production of WATCHER IN THE WOODS, book and lyrics by Douglas Thompson, music by Johanna Telander, and directed by Chase Kniffen at Urban Stages. I played featured roles in industry readings of THE STORE UNDER THE PORTICO, written by Robert and Cristina Farruggia, directed by Paul Masse, and HARD ROAD, written by Willy Holtzman, David Spangler and Marty Dodson, directed by Jackson Gray. At Pace University, I played the role of Sue Snell in CARRIE. Additionally, I’ve enjoyed participating in cabaret shows around the City. 

I’ve loved theater and story-telling for as long as I can remember. I would coax the neighborhood kids to put on shows with me in my basement and pleaded for my parents to buy a curtain for our “stage.” My parents tried to encourage other interests, but nothing captured my attention the way that theater did. And it wasn’t long before they realized I was in it for the long-haul. I am grateful to have a family that embraced my dreams and supported me from a young age.

My professional career began at age 11 when I played Tina Denmark in RUTHLESS! THE MUSICAL. I was fortunate to play a number of timeless roles in the Washington, DC area including Scout in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, Amy in LITTLE WOMEN, Dorothy in THE WIZARD OF OZ, Katherine in NEWSIES, Sister Mary Robert in SISTER ACT,  and Liesl in THE SOUND OF MUSIC.  I am also proud to be part of the cast recordings of PARADE, KALEIDOSCOPE, and WITCH. Although I love bringing classics to life, I found a deep appreciation for new works when I witnessed first-hand the power of theater to bring insightful perspectives to audiences and inspire conversation with respect to topics such as the #MeToo movement. Before moving to New York, I also worked as a Vienna Singing Princess, where my roles included Belle, Mary Poppins, Ariel, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Anna, Elsa, and Sleeping Beauty. 

I continue to train in voice, acting, jazz, ballet, and tap. I’m currently a BFA Musical Theater candidate at Pace University, Sands College of Performing Arts. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, cooking, thrifting, hiking, reading, traveling, and cheering on my theater friends in their shows!
