Hey y'all,
I grew up in a sports family (I would even go so far as to call myself a jock), so imagine my surprise when in high school I realized being on stage is way more fun than being mediocre at volleyball. Once I made this discovery, I had a blast getting very involved in my local community theatres and set my sights on acting professionally.
I made it to college, graduating with my BFA in Acting from Illinois Wesleyan University. I am currently based in Tennessee.
​
I find telling stories through an unconventional perspective intriguing and valuable. Theatre gives me words to express everything I feel inside. If I can share these words with even one person, I know this journey will have all been worth it. I'm a huge fan of Shakespeare, new plays, and movement-based work. I have experience with unarmed combat and am working towards being proficient in Broadsword! I am pursuing more education in stage combat and fight choreography. Overall, I love work which takes us beyond our own world: physically, mentally, and emotionally.
​
While at college, I threw myself headfirst into every aspect of theatre I could get my hands on. I discovered I have a natural eye for photography and lighting design. I love exploring theatre in this tactile way, getting to actually see the fruition of my work in a way you can't when acting. I love playing with light, whether it be on a dancer's body, in a photograph, or actually hanging and focusing lights.
​
During the spring semester of 2022, I had the privilege to study abroad at the British American Drama Academy, under the tutelage of London professionals in various aspects of theatre. I particularly loved my High Comedy, Shakespeare, Stage Combat, Movement, Voice, and Modern Physical Theatre classes. The opportunity to travel and experience the world on a larger scale was incredible for broadening my personal and artistic development.
​
I look forward to working with you!
