About

I am an actor, singer, and dancer who has performed professionally since 1997. I went to college for one year for musical theatre and then returned to school in the fall of 2024 for Business with an emphasis in Organizational Leadership. I have a strong work ethic; I am working full time in a Broadway show, and I am set to graduate in the spring of 2026, hopefully completing the entire degree in only one and a half years. I joined the stage actor's union, Actor's Equity Association, in 2006. I joined the Screen Actor's Guild union in 2020. I have been consistently working on Broadway in New York City since 2014. I have been a union deputy on and off in various shows since 2006. Being in the role of deputy has made me fall in love with business and leadership. My father-daughter bonding growing up was discussing his career as an executive for a major corporation. I was always engaged and fascinated by our conversations and loved learning about business and organizational leadership from him.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I would love to transition out of performing and into the business world. I am flexible and can see myself doing many things. I would love to be a general manager, working in the theater, for an exercise-related company, or doing something retail-related, as I have backgrounds in all those things. I have a passion for global peace relations. I also have dreams of creating free, scholarly, information-based content for women on reproductive health and all things pre and post-natal information, as I do not think this subject is talked about enough. Especially the challenging and scary subjects.

Graduate school interests

I am interested in continuing my education to get my MBA.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies include taking yoga, teaching private dance lessons, making beaded jewelry, cooking and nutrition, and connecting with and learning about world conflicts from diplomatic and political figures.
