A failed soccer player, can’t really cook well, yet a fierce artist based out of good ole Fredericksburg, Virginia. After years of people telling me I needed to perform and the countless number of “neighborhood porch performances,” I took that leap of faith and started taking performing-art classes at the age of 7. I am currently studying musical theatre in Harrisonburg, VA at James Madison University, where I will graduate in 2026.

I consider myself a well-rounded artist - a singer, dancer, actor, storyteller and writer, among other things. I am interested in work that gets at the heart of joy, collaboration, authentic and queer stories, and humanity. I simply live and breathe performance any second I get it.

Thanks for being here! Let’s create.

I Am.

Southern. Minus the accent. The majority of my dad’s side of the family lives in Southern Virginia and we visit them during the holidays. Not to mention that my grandma’s chocolate cookie recipe is everything.
First Generation Student. This is self-explanatory. I am lucky enough to have parents who can support my college career, even if they did not have that journey.
A Theme Park Enthusiast. I have worked in the attractions industry for at least two years. I love making people happy and the community that it brings!
A Dolly Parton Lover. I mean c’mon she is the embodiment of kindness and hard work, and a fashion diva. I strive to have her spirit and service oriented heart in everything I do and the decisions I make. Did you know that she wears one wig a day? So she basically has a yearly supply :)
