About Me!

Currently, I am living in NYC and auditioning while working in catering as a bartender! I am currently a part of Floor Thirteen’s inaugural season and am planning on continuing my acting training with a conservatory program in the fall. I am 22 years old, but have been performing since before I could count. I am grateful for all of the support I have received so far and am so thrilled to see what life has to offer me!

The Beginning

My life began when I learned how to sing. I could talk long before I could walk and as soon as I learned what music was, I loved it. I loved performing in any capacity; whether it was in theatre jazz classes, shows with my sister we made up for extended family, or in my child rock band ‘Underage.’

Falling in love with theatre

After performing in my first play as Trinculo in The Tempest at eight years old, I have performed in at least three live shows per year since. I found my escape and my joy in acting and knew I didn’t want to stop.

After graduating Sleepy Hollow High School, I went to Tufts University, where I studied Theatre as well as Cognitive and Brain Sciences. I also studied theatre abroad in London at the British American Drama Academy in Spring 2023.
