... it's me, hi!
I was born and raised in La La Land, so of course I am a certified dreamer! Since I can remember, I've been inspired by the entertainment world and... growing up in the “city of stars,” it’s engraved in me to dream big!
My love for storytelling began as a little girl when my grandma introduced me to the world of musical theater. We were on the 405 stuck in LA traffic and, to pass the time, she played the original broadway cast CD of Into the Woods. The musical came alive in her car! This is one of my fondest memories. Time didn’t matter/the hours of traffic didn’t bother us because we had each other’s company and one of the greatest musicals on loop. My grandma meant the world to me and her passions soon became mine: from musical theater to baking to classic movies!
These passions evolved into a deep love of entertainment and storytelling. This admiration for captivating audiences through story influenced me to earn 2 different storytelling degrees: a BFA in Musical Theatre and a BA in Advertising and Public Relations. While earning my undergraduate degrees, I made my professional theatrical debut in an equity show with my dream employer, the Walt Disney Company!

Now, I am currently contracted with Actors' Equity Association at Walt Disney World. I perform weekly at the Hyperion Theater in A Frozen Sing Along Celebration and at the Theater of the Stars in Beauty and the Beast: Live on Stage! In addition, I am also earning my Master's in Mass Communication from the University of Florida!
Everything I do, I am grounded in the person my grandma shaped me into. Take a look around my website and follow along with me as I try to navigate adulthood as a dreamer, surround myself with entertainment, and pursue my dreams!
