When I was 5 years old, my sister introduced me to “Les Miserables.” I wasn't allowed to touch the CD, so I would beg her to play "Castle on a Cloud" for me. I stood enraptured in front of the stereo speakers, singing each note along with little Cosette and mimicking her British dialect.

​

In middle school, I borrowed a new musical CD from the library each week, playing each one over and over while I belted out song after song at the top of my lungs. Although the constant singing might have annoyed my family a little bit, my passion for the arts carried me into a profession I adore, where I can excel using my singing, speaking, vocal inflection and communications skills.

​

After years of community, school, and church performances, I earned my B.A. in musical theater at the University of Wisconsin. In addition to four years of acting, voice, and dance classes, my training included courses in directing, music theory, dance, makeup and costume design. The most valuable lesson I learned there, however, was how to be professional:  

​

• being on time

• coming prepared

• willing to take direction

 

I've now worked in the professional field since 2011, and I strive to bring those qualities with me to every project I book.
