Who is this chick?
I was born and raised in Charleston, SC to two musician/performers. I grew up traveling, doing musical theatre, and singing in church. My junior year was spent studying Commedia Dell'Arte, clown, and movement in Arezzo, Italy igniting a fire in me to strive to tell stories that leave people curious. Now a graduate from Coastal Carolina University with a BFA in Physical Theatre, I plan to move to NYC to pursue my dreams.
What am I passionate about?
Something very important to me is bringing light into a room. Whether that be enabling the audience to feel something they have been wanting to feel for a long time or simply making them laugh. I have always loved performing. The art of escaping into another world brings me back to being a child. My goal in life is to hold onto that feeling forever.
I believe creating art that touches the human soul is the purpose of theatre. I am passionate about communicating stories of redemption, love, loss, and stupidity. Shedding light to these fundamental experiences brings people together. At the end of the day everyone wants the same thing; to be loved, respected, and heard. This is why I do what I do.
