Wasn't kidding when I referred to myself as a relative theater nerd. I grew up in Rockland County located in the beautiful Hudson Valley Region of New York. Although considered "upstate" I'm only a rather short train ride to Grand Central. Grew up in the church so have been singing since I was seven(7) in my youth choir. Also began doing musicals in middle school on through to high school since I was eleven(11). Fortunate enough to add great plays into the mix once off at college.  I needed them to hone my acting skills. In large part due to the global pandemic, I decided to spend the interim time honing my skills in an avenue I've always had a love for. Teaching the next generation. Being a full time educator has always been a long time goal for me. In the fall of 2021 I participated in the United Resident/Theatre Associations (URTA) virtual auditions for MFA acting programs across the country. After being called back from a few great schools, I decided to pursue earning my MFA degree at the University of Georgia. My degree was successfully achieved in May 2024. Getting to pass on my knowledge to aspiring actors has been extremely fulfilling and something I wish to continue exploring in tandem with performing. I've truly fallen more in love with the art of this craft every year and with every production I get to be apart of creating. At the end of 2024, I successfully completed my first national tour contract with How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Musical!. Always looking for genuine connections with fellow artists (whatever that means to you). Let's make something beautiful.
