I am a musical theatre actress, a professional singer and musician, as well as an incoming first year BFA Musical Theatre student at Viterbo University, Conservatory for the Performing Arts in La Crosse, Wisconsin!
I love every moment I spend on stage, and consider every musical role or gig I play training for my career in musical theatre and music.
Locally, 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. Last summer I sang the National Anthem before a Chicago White Sox game, an experience I am looking forward to repeating in summer of 2022!
I have appeared in multiple plays and musicals over the past several years, most recentrly as Dragon in Shrek the Musical! I feel at home on stage, and love to act, sing and dance!
In addition to my love for musical theatre, I play the guitar and ukulele, and sing with a vocal range that suits a wide variety of styles, from Broadway to current pop, rock, folk, country and beyond! From quiet, ambient music to rocking the center stage, I can do it all! I also enjoy writing original music, and plan to publish a few of my songs in the future.
Theatre, singing and music are my life's passion. When I step onto the stage, I know I'm where I'm meant to be. The gift of music has been the most beautiful gift of my life. I intend on spending my life sharing that gift, everywhere I go!
I am available to perform for your special event! You can count on me to arrive and set up on time, with my own sound system at the ready. Rates are negotiable and reasonable, and will help support me as I work my way through college. Check out the information below, and use the contact form to get in touch with me. I can't wait to hear from you!
