“Oh My Gosh! Who is this handsome weirdo?“
I’m glad you asked! I'm a singer, actor, producer, multi-instrumentalist, enjoyer of white cheddar cheese, cat wrangler, reptile enthusiast, avid sci-fi fan, and neurodiversity/disability advocate.
Music has been a huge part of my life from the time I could make a noise and move my body. My family would listen and sing along to along to rock and roll every time we were in the car, and my favorites were The Beach Boys and The Who. I asked my mom to join a children’s choir when I was four years old, studied in the Royal Church School of Music, started playing guitar and singing simple songs at talent shows, and was scouted out to star in a local opera when I was 11. I had an incredibly fufilling experience playing Amahl in Amahl and the Night visitors with actors from New York. After that, my passion and dedication to music and theatre grew. I also recorded a number of Minecraft parodies in middle school which amassed tens of thousands of views. I started attending summer programs like Stagedoor and the CMU Pre-college program in high school and chose to pursue my BFA at Point Park University.
Theatre heals and inspires me every time I perform. It creates bonds with others that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Escaping into the imagination of someone else's story creates deeper understanding of and empathy for many different types of people. Performing is easily the most fun and exciting part of my life, and when I get the chance, everything in my life lights up and bursts with color. It became clear to me at a young age that there was nothing else in the world that I would feel so compelled to pursue professionally.
“Wowza! That was a lot of information! Do you have any videos of yourself performing?”
Sure do! Here are some videos of me singing, acting, and playing guitar!

Other types of creating: In my free time, I like to produce/compose music using Ableton Live 10, playing instruments, and singing. I often use music as an outlet for the things that I have felt or experienced, and much of it is still experimental. Eventually, I hope to write musicals with spoken and sung dialogue in addition to performing and to be a multi-faceted creative. Click on a logo of your choice to listen to my music!
