ABOUT ME

I am an Actor, Singer, Writer, and Illustrative artist.
I'm passionate about work that is imaginative and fantastical, with a grounded emotional center. I love physical theater that is heightened, stylized, and theatrically explores the human experience. I truly enjoy working in a collective, and have a lot of experience with highly collaborative, devised theatre.
​
I graduated from Fordham University with a BA in Theatre, and I am in my third year of the CWRU/Cleveland Playhouse MFA Acting program. I have additionally studied with the Upright Citizens Brigade, the Moscow Art Theatre School, and Fiasco Theatre.
​
In my spare time I bake cookies, write music, and draw for my art brand, Maddle Baddle. I make comics, design logos and posters, and even drew my own custom pack of playing cards! You can see more of my illustrative work here.

​Directed by Meredith Nelson, stage managed by Marcus Black, and featuring Margot McCann, Raaghuv Vazirani, Mary Coulter, Nathan Nelson, Bella Issa, and Rachel Rittner.​
LUNCHTIME! follows the journey of two fifth grade friend groups as they grapple for friendship, approval, and power in the mania of one day's school lunch period.
