In addition to dozens of Muny productions, she was very active in musicals at Westminster Christian Academy.

She went on to dance collegiately at The University of Kentucky, where she graduated in 2023. In addition to her full-time career in business with Enterprise Mobility, she is entering her fourth season as an NFL Cheerleader for the Indianapolis Colts.
