About Me
I am a graduate of East Carolina University where I received my BFA in Professional Acting. I am a proud resident of New York City where I am pursuing my love of Theatre and Film. I have six years of improv experience, including performing in statewide high school improv competitions and serving as my college's Swish Improv team captain for three years. During my time in my improv troupe, I gained teaching artist experience when workshopping with schools, holding private lessons, and assisting in statewide high school improv competitions. Additionally, I have five years of Shakespeare experience involving performing and teaching the language locally to children and globally to students all the way in Poland.
