About Me

Growing up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I fell in love with the stage at a young age. My first show was Honk! in third grade, where I played a Duckling. While I didn’t do much beyond trotting around like the most confused duckling you’ve ever seen, I fell in love with the process.

Since then, I’ve performed in countless productions—from local community theatre to high school plays and now college productions—learning and growing with each experience. Along the way, I’ve developed relationships I will cherish for the rest of my life.

​

Currently, I am pursuing a BFA in Theatre and Dance at the University of Wyoming. While here, I’ve been taking classes in Jazz, Tap, Voice, Dialects, Acting, Movement, Improv Dance, etc. 

​

I’ve also dedicated my time to the University of Wyoming Theatre and Dance Department productions, where I’ve had the privilege of playing roles such as Billy Nolan in Carrie: The Musical, Rapunzel’s Prince in Into the Woods, The Narrator in Life After Dark, and, most recently, Dan in Next to Normal, to name a few.

​

Though this career path can feel daunting at times, I can’t imagine doing anything else. I am endlessly grateful for the opportunity to follow my dreams. A special thank-you to my amazing parents for their unwavering love and support—it means the world to me.​

Looking ahead, I’m excited to participate in more projects and continuing to grow as a performer.

If you aren't having fun, then what's the point?

My Happy Place

Family and friends are the most important things to me, and I don’t know what I would do without such a supportive group behind me.

 

I’m crazy about the outdoors—hiking, canoeing, paddleboarding, snowboarding, fishing—you name it. I feel so fortunate to live in a place where all of these adventures are just outside my door.

​

I’m also a big sports fan. I love playing basketball, and I’m a proud fan of the Golden State Warriors.

​

When it comes to reading, I’m all in. I’ve created a mini library in my apartment that I’m incredibly proud of. I enjoy reading everything from plays and fantasy to classics and beyond.

​

Having worked in several kitchens growing up, I’ve developed a real appreciation for cooking. I love taking the time to prepare healthy, delicious meals for myself whenever I can.

​

Last but certainly not least, I absolutely adore animals. I’ll always jump at any opportunity to talk about my cat, Franklin—he is the cutest! I'm not kidding.
