I graduated in Fall 2024 from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with degrees in Theatre Arts and Communication Studies and a minor in Studies in Cinema and Media Culture. I have been acting for about 12 years now, and my passion for it continues to grow. I did many school and community theatre productions when I was younger, and since then have been doing college and professional theatre along with acting workshops/programs whenever I can. In the past 4 years, I have begun pursuing film as well---I plan to move to LA in 2025 to continue to pursue both Film and Theatre professionally. I am currently signed with DDO Artists in LA for Theatrical, Stage, and Voiceover. For Minneapolis commercial/on-camera work, I am signed with Moore Creative Talent and Agency Models and Talent.

I have had an interest in directing for a long time, but I never thought about actually pursuing it until recently. I have assistant directed a professional theatre production in the Twin Cities with Lyric Arts and Exposed Brick Theatre, directed K-12 summer drama programs, and have taken directing classes to hone my craft. For my senior capstone at the University of Minnesota, I wrote and directed a full-length play that I adapted from Shakespeare’s Hamlet with a feminist twist. While acting has always been something that I've been passionate about and will continue to pursue, being a director has opened me up to a new world of theatre and film, and I cannot wait to continue to explore this part of myself as an artist.
