ABOUT ME

I'm an actor, teaching artist, and intimacy director-in-training currently based in Cleveland, Ohio. 

​

I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a B.A. in Theatre Performance and Theatre for Youth and Communities, which are perfectly suited for my two main life passions: performing and teaching! 

​

The pursuit of these passions has led me to regional acting work in Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, and the beautiful Appalachian mountains of Kentucky.

​

I'm a versatile teaching artist whose bucket is filled by working with youth in both the classroom and on the stage. My current position as an Actor-Teacher with Great Lakes Theater allows me to bring classic theatre to Ohio schools through week-long residencies. I recently directed a teen production of Emma! A Pop Musical, and I know that "Director" is the next hyphenate my sights are set on. 

​

During my time at UNI, I had the opportunity to learn about and implement a sensory friendly production design for Cinderella. It sparked my curiosity for making theatre more accessible, and I later worked with elementary students as a Special Education Associate. I strive to bring ability inclusive practices and considerations to my work as both a teacher and performer.

​

As a person who values equitable and safe practices, I continue to train in Intimacy Direction with TIE and IDC. I recently earned certificates in Youth Mental Health First Aid, and as a Consent Forward Artist. It excites me to share this important work with local theatres and educational institutions!

​

I'm an artist that thrives in a collaborative and team-focused environment. I love immersing myself in new communities of people, and growing alongside artists that are invested in creating high caliber art. I bring energy, professionalism, and a "get the job done" attitude to every project I'm a part of, big or small. If you can relate, I hope to connect with you!
