All About Me...

“And I know in due time, every right thing will find its right place”

— Everything Changes - Waitress the Musical

Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, I now call Manhattan my home. I got bit by the theatre bug at the young age of 5 when I didn't get cast as The Bell that couldn't Ring, while my dream of playing the lead was crushed I found a passion for being a part of the team and doing something that moved my spirit. You can find me skipping around NYC, watching The 1998 Parent Trap with my best friends, and all around dancing through life.

With a spring in my step and a song in my heart I am ready to take on the city one day at a time.

Recently Mentioned in Carolina Curtain Call:

“And there are some standouts: a solid Michelle Aravena as Calogero’s mother Rosina; the opener “Belmont Avenue“ that really transports us to the streets of New York; the father-son duet “Look to Your Heart”; the lovebirds’ “Out of Your Head”, Tyrone (Antonio Beverly) and Jesse (Kirk Lydell on this evening) in their crowd-pleasing routine in their “Ain’t it the Truth” reprise…”
