ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm an actor, director, and educator based in Cleveland, Ohio. I am also the co-founder and artistic director of Cleveland's own Soft Belly Theatre Company.

I am excited by new works and my aim is to collaborate with other artists on ways to celebrate and showcase the voices of other women in the industry. 

After graduating Cum Laude from the University of Evansville, I moved to New York City to intern with WP Theater.  I went on to teach music in the public school system for before pursuing my master's degree in acting from Case Western Reserve University/Cleveland Play House's prestigious program. I will be graduating in 2026.
