BIO
I’m an actor based in NYC originally from the Washington, D.C. area. I’m a proud graduate of Northwestern University where I double majored in Theatre and Psychology, got a Certificate in Music Theatre, and a Module in Screen Acting (yes, I’m an overachiever).
I’m currently on the first national tour of Funny Girl playing Emma and understudying Fanny Brice. I recently closed the final year of the first national tour of Fiddler on the Roof playing Tzeitel. Before that, I performed in the regional premiere of Which Way to the Stage and sailed aboard the Disney Fantasy performing as Elsa in Frozen with Disney Cruise Line!
If I’m not belting Beyoncé in the shower or baking cookie dough-infused desserts, you can find me teaching a variety of fitness classes in Equinox Fitness Clubs around Manhattan.
