A Little About Me
I am an actor/intimacy director/educator, so I hold multiple helpful perspectives.
I hold a BFA in Musical Theatre and have trained with some of the top master teachers in New York City, specifically with The Maggie Flanigan Studio.
I have extensive experience performing at the major Chicago theaters, balancing roles as an understudy, ensemble member (earning a Jeff Award), and leading roles in diverse productions, earning multiple nominations. I’ve also originated the role of Jasmine in a new Disney production called When You Wish.
During my years in NYC, I worked with Roundabout Theatre Company in their casting department working as a reader for Broadway auditions. Some highlights include Jagged Little Pill, Aladdin and Head Over Heels.
As a professional intimacy director, I prioritize creating safe, supportive environments for performers.
I've had the privilege of collaborating with top talent such as Adam Jacobs, Darren Lee, Stephen Kopel, Betsy Morgan, Natalie Weiss, Matt Bogart, and Larry Yando.
I’ve taught in various settings, from Viterbo University to guiding 8-16-year-olds in writing, directing, and filming their own film projects.
I was an invited speaker at BroadwayCon, where I shared my journey and insights alongside regional and Broadway artists.
