Miranda has been a performing arts fanatic for as long as she can remember! Born and raised in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, she started performing with her local civic theater at the age of 8, and she has pursued her passion for the performing arts ever since. Miranda additionally adores teaching as much as she enjoys performing, and she has been teaching music lessons, dance classes, and theatre programs for years. In the spring of 2020, she graduated with Bachelor of Arts degrees in both Musical Theatre and Theatre Performance from North Central College in Naperville, IL. Miranda is now pursuing an M.A. in Theatre Studies at the University of Houston in order to teach at the collegiate level, and she has had so much joy getting to know the theatre scene in Houston! When she is not in a classroom or on a stage, she enjoys running or watching her favorite TV shows of all time: "Friends", "New Girl", and "Seinfeld”.

- The Importance of Understudies: Maya J. Cristian And Jordan Quisno Share Their Experiences of Being in the National Tour of JAGGED LITTLE PILL - It was an absolute joy getting to know the two understudies that took the stage when I reviewed the touring Broadway production of "Jagged Little Pill"! Also, getting to know how understudies and swings work behind the scenes was absolutely impressive and interesting.
- Review: MOULIN ROUGE!: THE MUSICAL Makes Audiences Roar with Delight Night After Night at The Hobby Center - Reviewing "Moulin Rouge!: The Musical" was really meaningful to me because of the meaning it holds for my father and I.
- INTERVIEW: Playwright Jami Brandli and Director Jennifer Decker Give BroadwayWorld a Sneak-Peek to the World Premiere of O: A RHAPSODY IN DIVORCE - It was so exciting to get a sneak peek into a brand new production showcasing a modern woman's experience through the structure of an Ancient Greek play! Jami Brandli and Jennifer Decker are both women that I greatly look up to.
- Interview: Lead Ballerina Jessica Collado Shares With Us the Behind-the-Scenes of SUMMER AND SMOKE's Premiere at the Houston Ballet - Jessica Collado from the Houston Ballet was so lovely to talk to, and it was interesting getting to know how an original ballet is put into fruition! I had never seen a brand-new ballet before.
- Review: SCRAMBLED at Mildred's Umbrella Theatre Company - This was one of the first reviews I wrote, and it was through this play that I was inspired to write about the New Female Absurd for my master's thesis. Also, this production connected me with Mildred's Umbrella, whose company's values align with my own as an artist. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had to see this show through BroadwayWorld Houston.
