I have been singing, dancing, and telling stories for as long as I can remember. It’s where I feel most like myself. I performed in my first musical when I was ten years old and fell completely in love; I’d finally found a medium that allowed me to do all three of my favorite things! 

Many songs, dances, and scenes later, I attended Syracuse University where I would ultimately graduate with a B.F.A. in Acting in 2009. During my sophomore year at Syracuse, I was cast in a production called The Red Sun and The Green Moon which toured elementary schools in upstate New York. Talkbacks were a regular part of our performances and those interactions with students sparked my curiosity about the world of educational theater. I finally acted on that interest in 2011 when I was accepted into the Educational Theater program at New York University where I would eventually earn an M.A. in Educational Theater in Colleges and Communities and decide to pursue a career as a teaching artist while continuing my own art making.
