Hi there! I am a Connecticut-based singer, actor, musician, and theater educator. I am originally from Long Island, NY (and thus, am a harsh bagel critic). In addition to being trained in opera and musical theatre, I do also love classic rock! You can sometimes catch me singing on "Great Gig in the Sky" off the album, Dark Side of the Moon with a Pink Floyd cover band. I have a passion for writing (especially creating wacky parodies of well-known songs), and I love to decompress by spending time with my adorable Yorkie, Samson.
I enjoy taking risks on the stage - both comedy and drama are equally as gratifying, challenging, and invigorating to me as an artist. I love musical theatre and Shakespeare, and am intrigued by both performing in and directing bold pieces with important messages that hold up a mirror to our diverse, complicated society.
Always open to collaborations with other artists, theater makers, musicians, and the like!
