Hey, thanks for visiting my website. I appreciate your interest in getting to know me or my work. I'm grateful to work work a lot of wonderful artists that challenge and inspire me. I want to always be growing. I'm endlessly curious about the essence of being human and the power of live storytelling.
I've been blessed and fortunate to work as a multi-faceted theater artist- actor, singer, director, writer, and teaching artist- on both coasts, but predominately in the Seattle area since graduating with my BFA in Music Theater and a concentration in leadership/directing from Elon University (magna cum laude). I love raw, human truth on stage and in various styles of theater have played roles like Helena in Midsummer to Heather in Green Day's American Idiot, to Jane Eyre in styles ranging from Carousel to Medea.

When not performing, I am working as a teaching artist or theater director for companies including Seattle Children's Theater, Seattle Opera, Village Theater, among others. I founded and developed for a research organization called foundry10, through which I've had the opportunity to not only investigate the power of using dramatic arts infused curriculum in the classroom to improve student learning but have also produced and directed over a dozen performances, taught at international conferences across the nation, and hired and developed my own team.
I've got an appetite for new musicals and as an actor with a background in music theory and having worked as a commissioned writer, I've been able to originate roles and been a part of many new musicals at regional theaters such as the 5th Avenue Theater (workshops, readings of several shows), Seattle Children's Theater (Dick Whittington), Taproot Theater (Persuasion), and Village Theater (the lead role in A Proper Place, Teddy and Max) as well as swinging all six female roles in the Tony-award winning musical Come From Away (La Jolla Playhouse/ Seattle Repertory Theater).
As a writer I've had several new musicals or plays premiered at local theater companies and have recently been commissioned both by foundry10 to finish writing a musical called 78 minutes to be turned into a film and by Taproot Theater for a musical for their Christmas season 2020.
Maybe best known for being a person who laughs a lot, is passionate and direct, and a hard-worker. When I'm not in a theater I want to be snowboarding, backpacking, or building campfires in the woods or on the beach and eating homemade chili with friends.

I aim to pursue the wild adventure in striving to be fully present in each moment, whether on stage, a mountain or surf.
