I graduated from Kenyon College in 2015 with a BA in Drama (emphasis: acting) and English (emphasis: creative writing). After taking a year to gain some real world experience, I enrolled in the American Musical and Dramatic Academy's Integrated Musical Theatre program, and I graduated in May 2017.
​
Since then, I have taken classes with various directors, casting directors, and actors, written my own short screenplay, joined SAG-AFTRA, tore my ACL and recovered just before the strikes of 2023, and then took a turn into audio work via podcast hosting (and, hopefully, audiobook narration). I even did the thing that scared me most and took an improv class at UCB! Even with these ups and downs, getting to expand my focus and try new things has been a boon for my creativity and I hope to keep exploring the ways in which I can tell stories and make people laugh or think - or, ideally, both!
