Hello and welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, I started peforming at an early age. When I was eight years old, my parents took me to see the Broadway tour production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. When my mom asked what I thought, I said, “I don’t know how, but I’m going to be on that stage”. It’s pretty safe to say I was hooked and I’ve never looked back.

At eighteen, I was involved in a youth production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera for which I received a Greater Philadelphia Cappie Award for Best Featured Female Vocalist.

I went on to attend Rider University, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre.

In my professional career, I have worked with The National Theatre For Children, The Candlelight Theatre, Hangar Theatre and many more. My film and television work includes History Making Productions documentary series, Philadelphia: The Great Experiment and the special Urban Trinity: The Story of Catholic Philadelphia which was filmed for the Pope’s visit to Philadelphia in 2015. Additional work includes A Crime To Remember and Bull.

I have also had the pleasure to teach vocal, acting, choreography, and audition prep courses with companies such as Mainstage Center for the Arts, the Rehoboth Summer Children’s Theatre, and Woodbury High School.

Outside of theatre, the two hobbies I enjoy most are reading (you’ll always find a book in my bag) and cooking. Follow me on Instagram and check out my series, Food By the Book, where I make food inspired by the books I read.
