About me

I grew up in beautiful Northern California where I was lucky enough to be able to explore every activity I was ever interested in, from karate, to violin, to volleyball, and many others. But I quickly focused in on Musical Theatre as my favorite thing and passion.

After graduating high school, I moved down to Southern California where I received my BFA in Musical Theatre from California State University, Fullerton. While there, I became vegetarian (currently pescatarian) and learned how to take care of my body as my artistic instrument through healthy food and an active lifestyle. I also learned how to balance the passion and creativity of singing and acting, with the left-brained business aspects of making it a business.

I moved to New York and stayed for almost a year auditioning and nannying for a wonderful family where I primarily took care of a 10-year-old girl after school. She and I became somewhat of kindred spirits as she had many interests as well and I loved seeing her explore piano, clarinet, swimming, and dance, as well as keeping up with her (ever demanding NYC) homework. Life is very much a balancing act, and we learned that together that year. We even sometimes used her free time and did yoga together to help relax!

This past year, I spent working with Disney Cruise Line as a MainStage Performer and enjoyed the Bahamian weather, and the joyful faces of the vacationing children. I can't begin to describe how wonderful it is to see a little girl get a high five from Rapunzel. Watching children experience something for the first time is really, always magical. And that's why I do what I do.
