Hi there!

I’m a Houston-based musical theatre performer and classical soprano who loves telling stories with sincerity, imagination, and heart. I’ve had the joy of playing both leading and ensemble roles, with stage credits including Alice By Heart (Alice), Othello (Desdemona), Little Women: The Musical (Beth March), The Sound of Music (Maria), and The Little Mermaid (Ariel). Originally from St. John, Indiana, and now based in Spring and Waco, Texas, my creative journey has been anything but ordinary—shaped by movement, visual art, and a deep love of working with children.

 

I recently received my BFA in Theatre Performance with a concentration in Musical Theatre at Baylor University, alongside a minor in Educational Psychology. That combination has deeply shaped the way I approach my work, encouraging me to lead with empathy, emotional intelligence, and curiosity as I build characters and collaborate with others.

​

Before theatre entered my life, I spent nearly a decade training as a competitive Irish dancer. I was preparing for the national championships when I broke my ankle at the end of my freshman year of high school, bringing my competitive dancing career to an unexpected pause. While I was recovering, my mom encouraged me to find something creative to pour my energy into. Terrified but curious, I agreed to try voice lessons—despite having never sung in front of anyone—and that small step opened the door to an entirely new world.

​

As I healed, I continued to share the joy of my Irish heritage by teaching Irish dance for the remaining three years of high school, passing on the tradition that had shaped me while falling in love with working with children and discovering how even the most disciplined art forms can feel joyful and fun. At the same time, I slowly found my way to theatre, falling in love with storytelling and performance in a way I never expected.

​

As a senior in high school, I sang publicly (and in front of my parents for the very first time) when I was cast as Maria in The Sound of Music, a role I’ve since had the honor of playing twice. In a full-circle (and slightly ironic) moment, I found myself helping the cast portraying the seven children learn the basics of music while I was still discovering my own voice. That experience gave me the courage to trust my instincts and share my voice fully, both onstage and off.

​

I’m also a lifelong visual artist, and I bring strong visual instincts and attention to detail into my performance work. During my senior year of high school, I was honored to receive Best of Show at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Student Art Competition for a mixed-media piece. I also spent two years as a cheerleader and was named an All-American twice-- an endeavor that strengthened my physical awareness, teamwork, and love of ensemble storytelling.

​

In addition to stage work, I perform professionally as a princess entertainer in the greater Houston area, creating magical, meaningful experiences for children through music and story. It’s a space where my love for performance, education, and connection all meet, and it continues to remind me why storytelling matters.

​

What's next?

​

This summer, I am continuing my job as a character performer while also working for Team Wave Entertainment in Waco, Texas, where I am learning as much as I can about production and what it takes to make a feature film. In August, I am looking forward to returning to Frassati Catholic High School, where I will assistant direct and choreograph their fall production of Hello Dolly. Come November, I am excited to begin my role as Associate Producer of Lyric Stage in Dallas, Texas. 

....and of course, I plan to audition for anything and everything in the meantime!
