about me

Intros have always been hard for me. I've always had way too many answers to seemingly simple questions: Where are you from? Well, I was born in Florida and went to school in Ohio, but now I live in New York City. What did you study? Economics... but also Theatre, Spanish, and Marketing. What do you do? 

I've been told to settle on one thing and strive to be the best. But that's never seemed to work for me. I am excited about so much more than just one thing, as you'll come to learn very quickly. So to answer that last question, I act, write, produce, bartend, and execute PR and social media strategy -- and that's just this week.

There is one common thread through everything I do, and that's passion. I wear my passion on my sleeve and it's the thread that weaves together my work, my art, and my life.

Bio

I started acting when I was 13 years old. I was the only one of my friends to not get a named role in Once on this Island (Jr.). But being in that show gave me the bug for performing that, 10 years later, pushed me to make a career in the entertainment arts.

I continued performing in musical theatre productions all through high school and fell in love with acting, singing, reading plays, and writing. When I got to college, I continued my studies in Theatre in addition to a major in Economics and a minor in Spanish. 

I was selected to be in the 26th Fisher College of Business's Honors Cohort, where I was part of a two-year MBA-like program that pushed me to apply my creative and analytical skills to the corporate landscape. After two summer marketing internships and a year as a Student Marketeer for Red Bull, my passion for marketing and connecting with consumers was cultivated.

In school, I began film-acting and modeling in addition to directing, assistant directing, screenwriting, and producing. My directorial debut, Steps, is currently in post-production. I was signed by Heyman Talent in early 2023. Since then I have been a part of numerous short films, commercial shoots, and creative photoshoots in the Midwest region.

Since graduating, I am pursuing a career in entertainment in New York City where I serve as PR Brand Strategist and Outreach Manager at Lighthouse Ladies, a women-owned production company.

Marrying the creative and analytical parts of my experience has been one of the most exciting parts of my post-graduate life. My business experience allows me to bring discipline, organization, and structure to creative projects, while my creative DNA allows me to approach problems from a different angle. Storytelling is a universal skill, whether in the corporate world or in entertainment. Above else, my passion is for storytelling, in all its facets.
