Looking back at home videos, I always wanted my parents to film everything. When my brother came along, they tried to record the newborn and I would still end up sticking my little head into the frame! My imagination was constantly running wild. Beyond simply telling stories, I would fully immerse myself and others into pretend worlds. In these towering tales, I ended up acting out very distinct characters - much to my family’s amusement!
Eventually, I found new mediums through which to satisfy my needs as an entertainer. Despite minimal funding for theatre in public schools, I was lucky enough to work with some very passionate teachers early on! This led me to pursue acting at Pace University. During my college career, I took full advantage of my location and started working on productions outside of school prior to graduation.
Since completing the program, I have continued to work in musicals and plays, as well as in television and on film projects. Performing has always been my dream and I am continuing to make it my reality every day.
