A proud Philadelphia native, I've loved singing and being on stage since I was a kid. Despite that, I spent all of my childhood and most of high school horseback riding (see photo below).

It wasn't until I was in a production of The Laramie Project in high school that I realized I wanted to pursue acting professionally. I was, and still am, profoundly inspired by the impact the play had on me and my community. From that experience, I knew I wanted to be involved in telling stories that help encourage conversation, facilitate change and new ways of thinking. I have always found the most exciting and meaningful art to be art which pushes boundaries and challenges people's preconceived notions. I also love myself a dark comedy.

After graduating high school I moved to NYC where I received my BFA in Acting with a minor in Musical Theater from Marymount Manhattan College.
