ABOUT ME
Hailing from Minneapolis, MN, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by the arts from a young age and to have parents who supported me in my desire to pursue a career in the arts (Thanks, Mom and Dad!).
In 2019, I graduated from North Dakota State University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in performance. My focus during my collegiate career started in vocal performance (#singerfirst) but I quickly developed a passion for directing, devising, and teaching. My attraction to devised theatre and theatre for young audience is deeply rooted in a belief that theatre can and should be both entertaining and educational.
I strive to spark discussion and create change with the art I make and participate in. I believe that the stories we share on stage can be the catalysts to change on both small and large scales and that everyone has a story worth sharing.
When I'm not on the stage, I can be found sitting behind the table as a director, sifting through the racks at my local thrift store, making collages, or belting it out at karaoke.
