4 YEARS OLD
THOUGH SHE IS LITTLE, SHE IS FIERCE
I discovered I wanted to do theater for the rest of my life after seeing my brother play Winthrope in a local high school's production of “Music Man”.
After the show finished, I picked up a flower that had fallen out of someone's bouquet and told my mom that theater was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I was 4 years old.
My first show was in 2006 where I played Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Children’s Theater Company in Minneapolis, MN and have been performing ever since.

ACTING
LIFE ON STAGE
I am passionate about creating authentic characters that help draw audiences into the world and message of the story. I love that as an actor I get to use empathy as my super power.
My most recent performance credits include Violet in It’s a Wonderful Life, Mayella Ewell in To Kill a Mockingbird, and Betty/Ensemble in Beautiful the Carole King Musical.
TEACHING
TEACHING THE NEXT GENERATION
I am also passionate about helping young people find their confidence and community through theater. The performing arts is one of those rare spaces where a student can feel special because of their unique gifts. It is a true honor to be a part of helping them in their theater arts journey as a teaching artist and a director.
My most recent youth theater credits include Lead Teacher of Broadway Bound at Encore Performing Arts Studio and director for “Seussical” and “Finding Nemo” with Crane River Theater. I am also a para professional at my local elementary school.
LOVE
LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE
I met my husband in 2021 in a production of “The Miracle Worker” and we are now based out of Nebraska where we live in a cute little village of 203 people with our Bernedoodle, Yoshi. I love Jesus, coffee, painting, and 1000 piece puzzles. A fun fact about me? I am the 2024 Junkyard Oktoberfest Beer Stein holding Champion.
