Texas-born, Cape Cod-raised, New York–based.
I'm a queer musical theatre performer who isn't afraid of getting my hands dirty.
I'm drawn to stories that are earthy, handmade and honest: the new weird stuff my friends are writing, the from-scratch production in a black box, the immersive musical in the woods. I bring a grounded physicality and a sunny mix-belt to it all.
Some recent credits include Come From Away (Swing) and Waitress (u/s Dawn, Ensemble) at The Cape Playhouse, Witch Alternate & Cinderella/Bakers Wife Understudy in Sternfeld Studio's immersive Into The Woods, and some stuff at NYU: Cry-Baby (Lenora), Applause (Margo), and Anything Goes (Bonnie).
Offstage, I serve as lead graphic designer at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music and create pro-bono branding for grassroots progressive campaigns through Civic Power of Change. I believe design and theatre are the same work: if you make something purpose-driven and honest, it's bound to resonate.
