Actor

Educator
Since the age of six, I have been a performer. Now an education-minded actor, singer, storyteller, and arts advocate from Western Kentucky, I look forward to my next creative project.
​
I attended Murray State University and graduated in December of 2022 with an education major and theatre minor. During college, I was highly involved in the MSU theatre department and theatre in the broader community. I had the honor of participating in two theatre fraternities on campus: Alpha Psi Omega (president 2021-2022) and Sock and Buskin, MSU's oldest student organization.
​
 Since college, I have been invested in performing and teaching. I had the privilege of heading up the Marshall County High School theatre department for three years where I continued my passion for coaching the next generation of artists.
​
When not on stage or in the classroom, I can be found with a book, a crochet needle, a hiking boot, or a boxing glove! No matter the context, I make community a priority. My goal is for everyone to feel welcome in the room. As a lifelong learner, I hope to bring energy and optimism wherever I go.
