About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore, diversify, experience, and make new friends.

ABOUT ME

I make a living working in theatre and enjoy it very much. I love seeing new places and meeting new people. I was born in a small town in Kansas and have lived most of my life in the Midwest. I've recently relocated to New York City to see what it has to offer!

PHILOSOPHY

Whenever I was younger and anyone would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would reply "happy." I still find that true. I am a easy-going, pleasant person and hope to maintain that and share happiness with others.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always looking to exchange stories, learn from other cultures, and become friends.

I enjoy telling fun theatre stories about shows I've worked on or finding ways of watching performances online.

My boyfriend Isaiah is an excellent cook and you would be hard pressed to find a meal of his that you dislike.
