Hi everyone, welcome!
I'm an EMC actor / singer Chicago born & raised, based in NYC Represented by Stewart Talent Chicago. NEW YORK - I've made my Off-Broadway Debut (FRIENDS! The Musical Parody), performed in some really fun cabarets (54 Below, Green Room 42, Birdland Jazz Club, The Triad Theatre), and currently work at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts! Check here to see what's next. (hint... I'm co-producing / acting in a 29hr reading of a new play, more details to come soon!) CHICAGO / REGIONAL - Some of my favorite roles include Natalie Haller in All Shook Up, Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family, Bonnie Parker in Bonnie & Clyde, and Jenna Coates in May We All. I also proudly serve as Director of Development for The Beautiful City Project. When I’m not performing, I’m exploring as much nature as I can. I love to hike, camp, forage, and hang out with trees! I’m also constantly creating - whether that be planning roadtrips, crafting, playing piano and ukulele, workshopping cabarets, or hosting dinner parties for some of the best friends around. I'm deeply passionate about collaboration, community, and building a more compassionate world. We are stronger together & we need to take intentional, daily action to make sustainable change for ourselves, others, and the planet. I love when I’m lucky enough to find other companies & artists that practice these beliefs as well. Let’s get together and create something! a clip of 'I Just Might' from 9-5
