About Me

I am an American actor and singer based in London and a recent graduate of LAMDA's MA Classical Acting program. I also write, direct, and produce. I like to keep busy! When I am not performing or creating I teach LAMDA exams and work 1:1 as an acting coach. I am heavily influenced by the classics and am drawn to adaptations and reimaginings in my work. I deeply love Sondheim, Shakespeare, and Tennessee Williams.

 

BACKGROUND

I’ve been in and around theaters my entire life. I

had no choice, really. My mother is a former

Broadway performer-turned-choreographer, so

there was no escaping this life for me; not that I

ever wanted to. My first time onstage was when I
was about three years old in a dance recital my

mother put together in my hometown of

Temple, TX. Humble beginnings, but even then I

knew this was the life for me.

​

I spent four years in the most intense high school

theatre program you can imagine and slowly but

surely started to find my voice. I wasn't exactly the

star of the department, but I worked hard. When I

was cast as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, I finally felt

like that hard work was starting to pay off. Other

favorite roles from that time include Cecily

Cardew in The Importance of Being Earnest, Lily in 

The Secret Garden, and Constanze Weber in 

Amadeus.

EARLY CAREER

In 2018 I received my BFA in acting from the University of Houston, graduating Magna Cum

Laude. My love of Shakespeare and text began during these years, thanks to a three-week study abroad course I took at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, UK. Shortly after graduating, I worked professionally in the Houston theatre scene as an actor and dialect coach, a skill I was able to

develop while in school thanks to mentors Sara Becker and Jim Johnson.

 

Notable roles from my time in Houston include Marya in The Government Inspector at Classical Theatre Company, Julia in The Hard Problem at Main Street Theatre (Houton Press Award finalist: Best Ensemble Cast), and Miep Gies in The Diary of Anne Frank, also at MST (Houston Press Award finalist: Best Play). I also collaborated with friends and former classmates on two productions, led by Camron Alexander: a seven-actor, multi-rolling A Midsummer Night’s Dream and an intimate, contemporary adaptation of Hedda Gabler. 

 

                                                                                               Covid obviously brought all of this momentum I was                                                                                                 building to a screeching halt in the spring of 2020. I                                                                                                   frankly did not know if I'd be able to bounce back or                                                                                                 if my prime years were about to pass me by. After a                                                                                                  first attempt at grad school auditions, I made a                                                                                                              slightly impulsive move to Chicago to change things                                                                                                  up and try my hand at the larger and grungier theatre                                                                                               scene there. But Covid persisted, and something told                                                                                                 me to give grad school another shot. After braving the                                                                                               snow to audition in Chicago and flying to New York                                                                                                   for a recall that happened to also make for a nice                                                                                                       birthday trip, I received an offer to train at LAMDA on                                                                                               the MA Classical Acting course.

                                                                                             LAMDA

                                                                                             My year at LAMDA pushed me in every way                                                                                                                 imaginable to become a better artist. We studied                                                                                                         Meisner, Chekhov, Linklater, voice and text, political                                                                                                 speech, clown, mask, and many other techniques while                                                                                               also working on some of the most challenging plays                                                                                                   I've ever come across. I also wrote a 20 minute one woman show for my thesis project, a piece that was well-received by my peers and mentors, inspired by the history of women who have played Hamlet and my own desire to do so someday. During this year I developed my leadership skills by working as a student rep for my course, communicating with both staff and students to help ensure a conducive work environment.

LONDON

I graduated from LAMDA in 2023 and decided to make London my home for the foreseeable future. I've since have performed in musical theatre cabarets, scratch nights, and rehearsed readings in London. I have also started directing and producing and am a founding member of the LAMDA Alumni Company. In March 2025 I produced and performed in the Company's first official event, Second Acts, a variety night featuring graduates across years and course. It has been quite a journey to get to where I am today, and I cannot wait to see where life takes me next!
