I'm from the small yet mighty state of Maryland and grew up watching classic movie musicals. My introduction to the stage was at age 6 after seeing a cover of the country song "Let Er’ Rip" on American Idol Juniors. I sang this song in a local variety show that year and I went ALL out in pink cowgirl boots, cowgirl hat, sparkly pink shirt and a big pink buckle belt. Click here for video proof!

 

 I was soon taking voice lessons and getting myself into every local/school/community theatre production I possibly could. After trying other things and even earning a 2nd degree black belt in karate after 10 years, nothing topped my pull towards the performing arts. I knew I had to be a part of this magical community. 

 

    I ended up attending Rider University in New Jersey which allowed me to easily travel to and fall in love with my future home, New York City. In May of 2020 I graduated with my B.F.A. in Musical Theatre. I moved to NYC in the spring of 2021and I am so excited to see what new adventures, dreams and opportunities are ahead. 

     

     Besides theatre, I have a fierce love for old bay seasoning, MD crabs, cold brew coffee, all things The Bachelor, reality television in general and the Food/HGTV network.
