Hi There!

Let me tell you a little about myself:

I was born and raised in Elmhurst, Illinois with my parents and 2 older brothers. Much of my childhood was spent running around with my friends on the block, riding bikes through town, playing video games with my brothers, and performing in school choir concerts and theatre productions.

A little-known fact about me is that I did not start talking until I was 3 (if you know me now, this is SHOCKING). Instead, you’d find me replacing speech with a song, as I was humming commercial jingles around the house (my first dream role was to be the kid who sings the “Kars4Kids” song).

Everything changed after my parents took me to see my first musical: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. According to my mom, little 3-year-old me sat on the edge of my seat the entire show, wide-eyed and completely mesmerized. In 2011, after attempting (kind of) lots of sports, I auditioned and was cast in my first show, Alice in Wonderland with my hometown’s children’s theatre. After the show closed, I turned to my parents and asked, “When’s the next one?”

I had finally found my “thing”, and I was PUMPED! I would spend the next 8 years growing my training until I graduated from high school in 2019. I stayed close to home for college and attended North Central College in Naperville, where I received a B.A. in Acting & Musical Theatre with a minor in Directing. I also minored in Conflict Resolution through the Department of Leadership, Ethics, and Values.

I am now a working non-union actor and emerging director in Chicago. In 2026, I began a new journey as the Talent Liaison Director and Casting Associate for The Beautiful City Project - a charitable theatre organization that is committed to giving back to the greater Chicago area through the power of musical theatre storytelling.

When I’m not performing or directing, I still immerse myself in creative spaces and work as a Box Office Associate at the Writers Theatre in Glencoe and as the Group Sales Manager / Front of House Associate / Bartender at the Oil Lamp Theatre in Glenview.

Beyond the stage, you’ll find me watching sitcoms or documentaries, walking through the aisles at local thrift shops, exploring the city with my best friends, or spending time with my family in my happy place—the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
