About Me...

Los Angeles burbs (shout out the 626) was where my love of theater began! Growing up, I was always ready to meet new people, plot devious stories, and perform with gusto and fearlessness. After receiving my BFA in Musical Theater at The Boston Conservatory with a specialization in Directing, I have gotten to hone and refine my skills as a performer and also a director and producer. 

I am a community story-teller, drawn to plays and musicals that focus on marginalized voices and the magic and perseverance they possess. 

​Focused on new works and emerging voices, I am committed to working with new artists that believe in the magic that only theater can create, each night, fresh for every new audience!

​

Select acting credits include Unauthorized Fairly Odd Musical (Jerry Orbach Theater), Into the Woods as Little Red, and John Proctor is the Villain as Raelynn Nix (The Boston Conservatory).

Select directing credits include: Open House by Alex Poletti, The Moors by Jen Silverman, and Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them by A. Rey Pamatmat
