Theatre
My passion for theatre and performing has been with me longer than I can remember.
I know this because there’s video evidence of it.
When I was barely even a toddler, my parents only had to turn on their oversize VHS camcorder and I’d come running; singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”, reciting the alphabet, doing whatever came to mind, just to entertain whoever might be watching. There are far too many home movies interrupted this way. My family can assure you.
That enthusiasm carried over into school, and led me to work closely with my teachers. I have to reserve this space to thank all the teachers who helped me to forge my way in this industry: Patrick Page, Ken Drake, Kathy Leers, Melinda Feldman, Brandie Collins, and the wonderful Miss Victoria Buda have been integral in my education in theatre, and in so much more. Thank you all so much!
I continued my artistic education at Niagara University. Majoring in Theatre Performance with a minor in Communications, I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2014.
Since then, I toured shortly with the National Theatre for Children, after which I made the short move to Buffalo, New York, and have continued my pursuit of acting.

I like doing things different.
Creativity has always been my goal. I love improv, puppetry, juggling, and Dungeons & Dragons. As a performer, I’ve been compared to Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Charlie Chaplin, and Buster Keaton. Comedy comes to me almost instinctually, and physical comedy is one of my strongest attributes.
Whether in the ensemble or at the front of the stage, I take pride in all of my work. Both onstage and backstage, I treasure every second of getting to create and to perform alongside my fellow artists and theatre professionals.
So please, if you feel the same way, reach out to me! My theatre resume and contact information can be found on the Contact page. I’m always looking for new opportunities and new stories to tell.
Thanks for visiting, hope to see you around again soon.
