PRE-PRO with Billy Griffin!
Ever After
It was an absolute joy to work on this premiere production at The Phoenix Theatre Company with such a star-studded cast and creative team including Billy Griffin and Marlo Hunter. As a swing, I loved the challenge of covering 7 ensemble women and being able to go on for 5 of them through split tracks and mid show swing ons! Getting to watch writers Zina Goldrich, Marcy Heisler, and Kate Wetherhead work through script changes in the room was inspiring and I can't wait to see more of this show's journey.
Fly Fly Fly, Reading
I got to add yet another bird to my resume, this time with the opportunity to originate the role of Raven in a musical reading at The Phoenix Theatre Company. It was an honor to get to work with the writer Katie Brady and director Michelle Chin in the early creation phase of a new musical.

A Christmas Carol
For the holidays this year, I got to perform in my hometown at The Phoenix Theatre Company! This was my first contract as a Swing (covering Mrs. Fred, Belle, and Nurse) and I really enjoyed the challenge of learning three different tracks. It was honor to be part of this version that has so much AZ history and original music by the late Alan Ruch.
The Wizard of Oz
I spent my summer performing over the rainbow at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. I was thrilled to work with Melissa Rain Anderson (director) and Jessica Chen (choreographer) in another production! I had an absolute blast learning how to understudy, work with Bill Berloni's dogs, and fly with ZFX! Munchkins and Ozians and Monkeys, OH MY!
Tepper Semester NYC
For my final semester of college, I have been studying in NYC at Syracuse's Tepper Semester learning from some of the industry's best: Daisy Prince, Karyn Casl, Erica Jensen, and many more! This program has allowed me to grow as an artist all while preparing me for life after graduation.
My Cabaret!
I wrote my own 30 minute cabaret as part of a class led by my director and mentor Kathleen Wrinn and music directed by Dan Williams. This show was about the life lessons my mom has taught me growing up and the idea of loving yourself, even through all your flaws. I was able to perform it for my friends, teachers, and my mom!

The Moors
I seem to have a niche for playing birds in a show :) I was the Moorhen in The Moors directed by Matthew Winning. This play is beautiful and chilling and I enjoyed getting to work on it with all of the cast and crew, especially exploring bird movements for my character with our movement director Danyon Davis.
Shakespeare's Globe Program
During my junior year, I studied abroad in London and participated in the higher education program at The Globe. I was immersed in the theater community in London, seeing shows every week while taking classes that focused on the language, voice, and acting skills needed for Shakespeare work. At the end of the semester, we got to perform scenes from As You Like It on the stage!
