About Me
I was born and raised in Paducah, KY, where I spent my time stargazing, tubing in the lake, and belting while driving down back roads before moving to the Soy Capital of the world (Decatur, IL) to pursue my dreams. I graduated in May 2023 with my BFA in Musical Theatre before moving to Chicago shortly after.
If you're looking for a lovable southern belle (or trailer park honey), seductive mistress, powerful villain, emotional wreck, or a strong leading lady—I'm your gal! I am resilient, sentimental, energetic, and fearless. I come from watching 80s rom-coms with my Mama, my Papa's flannels, and my Grandma's sweet potato casserole.

Born to Be a Star
When my Grandma talks about my dream of becoming an actress, she always tells the story from when I was three years old, and she asked my brother (the complete opposite of me) what he wanted to be when he grew up. He shrugged and said, "I don’t know," and I piped up with, "Well, I don't know what I'm going to be either, but whatever I am going to be... I'm going to be a STAR!" and that part of my inner child has never faded away.
I'm ready to shine and share my light. As a female artist, I want to tell meaningful stories and use my voice to create space for thought.

Life Offstage
When I'm not practicing/performing, you can find me go-go dancing around the city, binge-watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, spending quality time with my loved ones, melting in hot yoga, living my best life in some body of water, crafting, or cuddling up with my kitty Orion.
