Singer ~ Actress ~ Gigging Musician
I am a professional singer, actress and gigging musician with a passion for the stage!
I'm also a rising 3rd year BFA Musical Theatre student at Viterbo University, Conservatory for the Performing Arts, in La Crosse, Wisconsin, with minors in Music and Dance.
As an actress, I love exploring new characters! I bring my best to every audition and performance, and have experience in dance, stage combat and specialty makeup, as well as understudy and swing experience. Favorite roles include Dragon in Shrek The Musical, Ruthie in Batboy: the Musical and most recently, Jane in Tarzan: The Stage Musical.
As a musician, I am known for performing live at area events, as well as for producing my own series of Facebook and Instagram Live Quarantine Concerts, leading to a feature story on Chicago's WGN news. I won the DuPage County Fair talent competition two years running, and have sung the National Anthem for Chicago White Sox games in 2021 and 2022!
In addition to my love for Musical Theatre, I play the guitar and ukulele and run my own entertainment business since 2020, gigging at bars, restaurants, private parties and special events throughout the Western Suburbs and Chicagoland area. I cover a wide variety including pop, rock, country, standards and more.
I am currently seeking Musical Theatre opportunities throughout the Western Suburbs of Chicago, and am ready to book a gig with you! Check out the information below, and use the contact form to get in touch with me. I can't wait to hear from you!
