about me

Picture"The Lost Colony" 2015
I was born and raised in Durham, North Carolina. As a child, I was constantly dressing up as someone else, creating a character and creating the world they lived in. I've loved using my imagination, it has brought me more joy than anything else. Eventually I realized that someone can actually have a career where they can utilize their love for creating characters and imaginary worlds. Some are actors, some are writers, some are directors, but I wanted to do it all.

In college I had the immense pleasure of working with some of the most incredible mentors and peers, and found time to have a Lord of the Rings marathon or two. Somehow, amidst all of this, I discovered my undying love for William Shakespeare and his plays. His creativity and wit inspired me. During my Summers I finally became a Jedi Master by training in stage combat with teachers from the Society of American Fight Directors. I also worked as a Teaching Artist and Acting/Education Intern at Orlando Shakes for the 2018/2019 season.

Picture"Horn in the West" 2017
Over the years I have become a passionate Actor, Playwright, Director, and Stage Combatant. My palette may have grown somewhat along the way, but I still run around in costumes pretending I'm one character or another. I believe in the power of imagination, and I want to spend my life creating and discovering more about myself and the people around me. The arts are important to me; performance is important to me, and I want to share it with everyone.



​"Eternity was in our lips and eyes/Bliss in our brows' bent" ~ William Shakespeare
​(Antony and Cleopatra, I iii 35-36)
