SKILLS AND TRAINING.
MY WORLD.
As a passionate, invested actor, I believe that combining my diverse acting background with a nuanced interpretation of your script is the key to honest and strong performance. This belief is at the core of my professional career, and I infuse it into the heart of my work on every project. The result? Realistic and moving performance that has a memorable effect on the audience. It's more than what I do; it's who I am.

24 - Hour Theatre Project
​
In 2016, 2018, and 2019, I participated in this challenge to produce a short play-- from writing to performing-- in the span of only 24 hours. Participating as an actor, a director, and a playwright, I have learned that art is born through collaboration, creative problem-solving, and a whole lot of coffee!
Workshops with Victor Bayona
​
Over the course of my four years earning my undergraduate degree, I completed several workshops with professional Chicago violence designer Victor Bayona. In these workshops, I mastered skills related to combat (both dramatic and comedic), stunts, and the proper way to fall. I deeply appreciate these skills for how they have expanded my abilities as an actor.
