I spent my childhood convinced that I would become a dolphin trainer at Sea World, but everything changed at age 12 when I played a nun in Sound of Music (still heartbroken I never got my chance at Liesl, it’s a sore subject…)

I started as a BFA Acting major at Otterbein University and then moved to the BFA Musical Theatre program. During undergrad I received a Fulbright Scholarship to study Shakespeare at The Globe under Philip Bird’s mentorship, as well as was an Acting Apprentice at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey.

After college, I had an internship at Binder Casting (and became the assistant my second week - long story, ask me about it!) and have been a New Yorker ever since.

With our nomadic nature as creatives, for me, home is wherever there’s an iced chai latte, Wes Anderson film, and laughing so hard you pee a little.
