I started acting when I was a child, but I was truly bitten by the stage bug in high school, when I performed in Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby at Theatre Under The Stars in Houston. One night, as I ran out for a curtain call, I fell onstage and thought I might have ruined the show! But I got up and continued my staging and the audience still clapped. At that moment, I learned that art imitates life, and I wanted to cover myself in THAT.

After high school, I studied musical theatre in Chicago at Roosevelt University's Theatre Conservatory and worked professionally in Chicago for two years before making my way to New York City.  Since then, I have been a working actor / singer — and I can't imagine doing anything else. I learn so much from this business and have found great joy, while discovering beautiful things about myself and others. I pray that God continues to bless my walk in the arts and continues to make dreams come true.

My Passion Project
