About Me

I am an actor, music director, musician and photojournalist based out of New York City. I am currently working at the Savannah Theatre, where I am assistant music directing their production of Les Misérables.

My passion for storytelling was cultivated at the University of Georgia, where I spent my time studying theatre and visual journalism. While attending college, I was active in department and student-run theatre alike, balancing my passion for performing with opportunities for exploration in music directing and band leading. As a journalist, I worked for nationally acclaimed student-run independent news publication, The Red & Black, both as video editor and staff photographer. In 2021, I was awarded Creative Staffer of the Year for my diverse body of work with the publication. I graduated from UGA in 2022 with bachelor's degrees in theatre and journalism, as well as a certificate in musical theatre.

As a performer, I I have a strong aptitude for actor/musician musical work, but have experience in film, straight theatre, and live immersive theatre installations. I have worked with such companies as Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Six Flags, and APEX Touring, as well as a number of regional theatres all across the country, including the Marriott Theatre, Fireside Theatre and New Stage Theatre. Directly after college, I had the opportunity to work as an understudy, combining stand-in work with table reads and rehearsals, for Francis Ford Coppola on his recent film, Megalopolis.

I specialize in actor/musician work, having directed, music directed and played actor/musician roles in nearly 30 professional productions including Million Dollar Quartet, Million Dollar Quartet Christmas, Ring of Fire, Pump Boys & Dinettes, as well as original works.
