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.
