ABOUT ME

Why I Chose To Pursue Musical Theatre 

I am a small town girl from Southern Illinois, and nearly every assumption that comes with that fact is true. I grew up in a loving, supportive community- whether that was at school, church, our Recreational Center where I lifeguarded for years, or the Mom & Pop Shops I hold close to my heart. The first time I realized how important music and performing was to me is when I began singing at church around the age of 10. I found theater later than most, performing my first show towards the end of my sophomore year in high school. For those who know me, you know I fall hard and fast- this was no different. My passion for musical theatre was undeniable, so I started my career at Western Illinois University as a BFA. Everyday I learn something new and exciting about myself or my career. I feel incredibly lucky to have the love and support of my family and friends as I navigate such a unique field.
