Discover the Actress

The first time I stood in front of an audience and sang, I realized music wasn’t just sound, it was story, breath, and heart all at once. That moment sparked the beginning of my journey as a triple threat performer and storyteller, committed to creating performances that don’t just
entertain, but move audiences and remind us of the shared humanity at the heart of theatre.
From my earliest days in dance recitals and childhood plays, I was drawn to the stage as a place where I could freely express myself, playfully use my imagination and let stories come to life. Training in voice over the years has allowed me to bring variation to a song and bring out
the emotions inside the music, while my background in acting and dance continues to strengthen my storytelling, with every note, gesture, and movement serving a purpose. What excites me the most is not just the technicality of these skills, but how they allow me to shape authentic,
genuine characters that spark inspiration and ultimately bring people closer together. Now, as a college student pursuing musical theatre, I like to think of myself as both a
student of craft and a student of people, studying how art builds bridges, encourages compassion, and has audiences leaving performances feeling changed. My dream is to make a living onstage and ultimately reach Broadway, but even more than that, my goal is to use art to tell stories that really matter. Whether it’s through a dramatic ballad, a comedic scene, or an energetic dance
number, I strive to remind audiences that theatre is deeper than a form of entertainment, it’s a mirror, a celebration, an escape, and for some, a lifeline. For me, the stage is where purpose and passion meet. And I plan to live there.
