Here’s a little bit about me, my background, and my journey as an artist. I am originally from Indiana, Pennsylvania (yes, I know what you’re thinking, it’s the name of a state. But it’s also a small town in rural Appalachia about an hour from Pittsburgh), and I consider my small town upbringing to be a large part of what made me who I am today.
In addition to my Appalachian background, my French and Hispanic heritage is an important part of my identity. My father is a French immigrant, and he made a point of raising me bilingual, with lots of French cultural influence. I am a dual citizen of France and the United States, and my family even spent over a year living in France when I was a small child. I also grew up with Hispanic influence (primarily in the form of my mom’s incredible cooking) from the other side of my family.
I started acting at the age of 9, when my best friend convinced me to attend a summer theater camp. I quickly fell in love with performing, and one thing led to another aaaand before I knew it I was planning to devote my life to it.
I studied musical theater at Ohio University (BFA Class of 2024) in Athens, Ohio. I graduated as part of the Ohio Honors Program with my BFA in Musical Theater and my Certificate in Actor-Musicianship. Over my four years of college, I not only studied and honed the skills of acting, singing, and dancing, but I also branched out into playwriting, directing, choreography, standup comedy, dramaturgy, and actor-musicianship. I am now based in NYC and work professionally as an actor, playwright, and comedian.
Over the past year (2025-2026), I have toured two TYA musicals: one U.S. national tour and one tour in Europe. Through these experiences, I have discovered a passion for performing for young audiences, as well as an affinity for tour life. Outside of the theater, I enjoy running, weightlifting, boating, hiking, jamming with my band, and posting on my My Chemical Romance fan TikTok account.
