Born in Texas and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, I am a lifelong storyteller. In elementary school I would put on lip sync concerts of Hillary Duff and Taylor Swift and write short stories about my crushes and I living happily ever after. For my high school years, I attended the prestigious Youth Performing Arts School and then moved to New York City at just 17 to pursue a degree in musical theatre. I graduated last May with my BFA from Pace University. Since then, I did The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Olive Ostrovsky) in Maine, played Kat in Brilliant: A New Musical at Theatre Row, and had a concert of songs from my musical, The Waiting, performed at The Triad Theatre in December of 2021.
I am currently on national tour with Baby Shark Live! I am having so much fun touring the country and making children smile ear to ear. When not performing, I am preparing for the SheNYC festival this summer, where my musical will be fully staged and produced at the Connelly Theatre in July. I spend my free time on walks, watching Stephen Colbert, and playing The Sims.
I am excited to be writing a singer/songwriter album, which I will be recording in the late summer/early fall. We will begin rehearsals for The Waiting in July, when I will be back at my apartment in Brooklyn. I'm looking forward to a creatively fulfilling summer producing new musical theatre and enjoying the city.
