ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm an actor, director, and educator based in Cleveland, Ohio. I am also the co-founder and co-artistic director of Cleveland's own Soft Belly Theatre Company.

I am excited by new works and my aim is to collaborate with other artists on ways to celebrate and showcase the voices of other women+ in the industry. 

After graduating Cum Laude from the University of Evansville in 2019, I moved to New York City to intern with WP Theater for a year.  I went on to teach music in the public school system for three years before pursuing my master's degree in acting from Case Western Reserve University/Cleveland Playhouse's prestigious program. I will be graduating in 2026.
