Theatre and the arts are not only my chosen profession but my true passion in life. I'm most at peace with myself and the world when I am either performing, rehearsing or teaching the next generation about the arts. I believe that being involved in theatre and the arts makes everyone a better person no matter what field you are in.

October 2022:

I just moved to Philadelphia, PA with my wonderful partner! We are loving our new (Sooooo SPACIOUS) apartment in the Fairmount neighborhood. So excited to dive into the Philly Theatre scene and yet still be close enough to NYC to visit friends and audition in the city when in person opportunities come back.
