Born and raised in the western suburbs of Chicago, I fell in love with the arts at the age of 11 when a friend asked if I wanted to audition for a production of Alice in Wonderland. Since then, I have established myself in the Chicagoland area and am currently a Senior in North Central College’s Acting & Musical Theatre Program. During my time in Undergrad, I have worked with theatre professionals from Chicago and New York. I dream of taking my career around the world and love working with artists who are based in different locations.  I am an actor at heart, but have found a love for working behind the scenes as a director and will be making my directorial debut at North Central with the musical Next to Normal in December 2022. I also have recently taken a liking to On-Camera work and have helped people with their self-tape auditions for Theatre, TV, and Film. In addition to Theatre Performance, I am a trained Classical Vocalist and have been featured as the Tenor Soloist in Handel’s Messiah and the Schubert Mass. Within the industry, I advocate for plus size inclusion in all roles. I am a firm believer that nobody should be rejected for a role because of their weight. Someone should not have to feel that they have to “look a certain way” to be a successful entertainer, and I will forever fight for the plus size community to be seen in audition rooms.  Outside of performance life, I love baking, reading any mystery thriller I can get my hands on, petting every dog in sight, and playing dominoes with my family, whom I love more than anything.
