Acting

In the summer of 2019, I had the pleasure of understudying with Chicago Shakespeare Theatre's production of The Comedy of Errors for the 2019 Shakespeare in the Parks series.

I also just finished my undergraduate degree in acting, musical theatre, and dance from Northwestern University in of June of 2019. I had the privilege of studying acting under Gail Shapiro.

Recently, I appeared in the ensemble of Porchlight Music Theater's Sunset Boulevard, starring Hollis Resnik — a production that Chris Jones (★★★) hailed as "transfixing."

Porchlight's 'Sunset Boulevard' has a true star to play Norma Desmond in this Andrew Lloyd Webber musical

During my time at Northwestern, I was able to study voice in Michael Brown's and Kelli Morgan's studios. I also had the pleasure of working with David Bell, Amanda Denhert, and Stephen Schellhardt on acting for musical theatre.
