Bio

I am a Colorado actor, singer, and storyteller. I believe live theatre and film can pull people from their screens and back into each other's lives. In addition to a rigorous on-stage production schedule personally, I am passionate about developing inclusive theatre spaces for others. I have worked with a local community theatre for six years helping them augment their shows with neurodivergent and disabled performers. I also work part time as an in home caregiver for a homebound woman with serious health challenges. Throughout high school I have been an officer in the music and theatre departments. One aspect of those roles was to managing social media and branding for our productions which helped lead to every mainstage show sold out during my time as an officer. I have performed in more than 20 productions on numerous stages. Some of the roles that have taught me the most are Joan Watson in Kate Hamill's "Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson" and Morticia in "The Addams Family." My work supporting special needs performers, my years of in-home caregiving, and my leadership and dedication to telling stories that connect us, all show how I care for the communities I’m part of. Financial support would not only make college possible for my family, it would also be an investment in an artist focused on using my training to help audiences remember each other’s humanity.
