About
Born and raised in the rolling hills of West Viriginia, I grew up in a theatre-loving family that always pushed me to follow my dreams. I fell in love with acting when I was 8 years old. I loved that I could be anyone I wanted to be when I was on stage. As a young transgender kid, acting played a huge role in allow me to explore and discover my own identity. Since I came out in 2021, not only have I been committed to living truthfully as myself, I have also been committed to bringing authenticity and nuance to the characters I play. I pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from West Liberty University and while studying there I discovered that I also have a knack for set design and construction. I love to create sets that not only draw the audience in, but that actors would love to act on. Since graduating in 2023, I have acted on regional stages in Wisconsin, West Virginia, and more recently Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where I am an actor and the Technical Director for Gamut Theatre Group.
