BIO

Temecula, California is my hometown, but I am now based in Orange County and Los Angeles. I completed the Actors Intensive Program at South Coast Repertory in 2018. I also graduated from California State University, Fullerton in 2020 earning my BFA in Musical Theater.


Along my performance journey, I've had the privilege of working on some pretty reputable projects. This past April, I made my debut in Virginia Musical Theatre's production of Anastasia as the leading role, Anya/Anastasia. I kicked off my 2026 in Jason Alexander's Sweeney Todd produced by McCoy Rigby Entertainment at the La Mirada Performing Arts Center which starred Broadway veterans, Lesli Margherita and Will Swenson.

Last year, I played Barbara Follett in the World Premiere of a Perfect World, A New Musical at the El Portal Theater directed by Kay Cole. I also made my North Coast Rep and Laguna Playhouse debut in the World Premiere of Peril in the Alps which was written and directed by the infamous Stephen Dietz. At the top of 2025, you may have seen me in the LA Premiere of Desperate Measures playing the role of Susanna aka Sister Mary Jo at the Beverley O'Neill Theater in Long beach with ICT.

A project I hold dear to my heart is a new baseball musical called, Belles are Swinging written by James Mellon and Scott DeTurk with direction by James Mellon. I was leading character, Nora/Mack. Presentations were at the Gary Marshall Theater and the La Mirada Performing Arts Center. Fingers crossed my Belles journey continues. ​​

You might have seen me on TV in a few commercials! Most recently, I was in a Kleenex Commercial and a Law Brothers Commercial which happened to run during the 2025's Super Bowl Sunday! A certain bride was getting married ;] Go to my reel page to watch the video!

I absolutely love to perform and create. Affecting audiences through storytelling is the main reason why I love acting. When I am not preparing for my next audition, you'll find me obsessing over Nespresso pods or trying to save social hour one brie at a time with my charcuterie skills.
