Then & Now

I was born & raised in Houston, Texas where I was fortunate enough to begin my training journey at The Humphrey's Academy at Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS). To this day, I credit my time at TUTS for my work ethic, dedication & professionalism, both on and offstage.

Though I'm originally from the suburbs, I've always known that I belong in the city. I honed my skills as a BFA Musical Theatre Major at Emerson College in the heart of Downtown Boston, graduating summa cum laude in 2023. I also picked up a minor in Marketing Communications with concentration in Social and Digital Media, and I now curate my own website, reels, and socials!

In high school I continued to perform, but found other interests as well... this was when I began to explore direction, design & playwriting. Before leaving high school I became a published playwright, directed my first play (site coming soon!) and further explored these interests through my college extra-curriculars.​

After spending almost one year in New York, I was itching to begin creating my own work again.

This was when I decided to bring a cabaret idea I'd cooked up, Rep Book Roulette, to life. After a thrilling debut in June 2024, we've been back at The Green Room 42 almost every month since! I both produce and regularly host the show. Building community through this show has perhaps been the greatest gift the city has afforded me so far.
