My mom always told me “find what you love to do, and figure out a way to make it your career,” so becoming a professional performer was the only thing that made sense to me. Growing up, I gave countless recitals on the landing of the staircase, ruined many pieces of furniture, using it as my gymnastics equipment, and “walked the runway” of the hallway, modeling costumes while my dad held a flashlight as a “spotlight.” No one was surprised when I became a singer, actor, and gymnast along the way.
These days, I thrive on just mushin’ it all together as an interdisciplinary artist. I sing, tell stories, tumble, climb on things, jump off of them…and USUALLY land on my feet! I love devising new works, writing cabarets, and bringing fresh air to a golden age classic. I’m one of those “deep feelers,” and will shamelessly cry while watching Shark Tank, BUT that also means that when I’m performing, my goal is to make my audience feel seen and heard.
I teach voice lessons, choir (to both children and adults), cabaret, and I coach gymnastics and circus arts.
