About Me
I am a proud native New Yorker who grew up in the suburbs of the City, though I currently call Chicago home. As a kid I was always drawn to entertaining, and my passion for performing in a formal sense began at age six when I started to play piano and dance (tap and hip-hop). This continued to grow once I got to middle school and was able to join the drama club. For the majority of my childhood, I was unsure of what direction I wanted to take my life in, but this allowed me to explore other fields such as performing classical piano, reporting for journalism, learning languages and traveling, and completing research projects in the social sciences.
I was fortunate enough to attend Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) where I graduated in June 2021 with a major in Radio/Television/Film, a minor in theatre, and a minor in business. I was also fortunate to be the only film major in my class selected for a two-year acting training sequence under the guidance of Professor Henry Godínez. My work at Northwestern mainly centered around acting (for both the stage and screen) and learning how all of the moving parts culminate to properly create a powerful work of art.
I am currently auditioning regularly throughout the city of Chicago and am represented by Shirley Hamilton Talent. Recent theatrical credits include Anything Goes at Porchlight Music Theater, 9-to-5 the Musical and Xanadu at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, Ripcord at Oil Lamp Theater, and Zorro The Musical and White Christmas at Music Theater Works. I have recently done print work for McDonald's, GUM, and Giordano's. Recent commercial work includes regional spots for Honda and DSW, and a national commercial for Grainger.
When I’m not acting, you can find me dancing, playing piano, in the gym, watching basketball, or spending time outside with my family and friends.
