The first musical I ever performed in was Les Miserables. I was recruited by my next door neighbor Abby, who was playing Fantine at our local high school, to audition for Young Cosette. Music had always been a huge part of my childhood but the piano lessons that I was taking at the time weren't particularly clicking with my elementary aged self. In preparation for my audition, my piano teacher let me practice my singing instead of playing. I got the role, and with it, an unforgettable and transformative experience. Performing became the thing that I love most, and I have been lucky to pursue it at a professional level since graduating from Marymount Manhattan College with a BFA in Musical Theatre and as Valedictorian of the Class of 2024.

 

Since finishing school, I've continued to nurture my passion for acting and explored more avenues of expression. I acted in a feature film titled Air Shift that was released to streaming platforms including Amazon Prime Video and Tubi in fall of 2025 and showcased at the Marche du Film at the Cannes Festival this past May with Indie Right Movies. Currently, you can find me as a butler at Masquerade, an Off-Broadway musical in New York City for which I received a Drama Desk Special Award. My participation in the arts is at least partially self-indulgent; it really does feel good to have your voice heard, but I aim to do more with my platform and lift up other voices along with my own. We can achieve so much when we work together.
