Born and raised in Chicago, IL, I attended the Chicago Academy for the Arts where I graduated with the 2015 Outstanding Senior in Dance award. I then went on to study at the Alvin Ailey/Fordham University BFA Program on both academic and artistic-based scholarships. I transferred to New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Studies in 2017 where I received my BA in Economics & Performing Arts Management. During my final semester at NYU, I presented my colloquium on The Economics of the Performing Arts Industry - Commercial Theatre and Concert Dance.

I traded my tutus and Gaynors for Lulu skirts and LaDucas. I’ve danced works by John Vincent Leggio and Nick Palmquist in New York City; have performed at Hersheypark and Dorney Park during their Christmas and Summer seasons; have been seen in regional productions of Cabaret, Chicago, Elf, Escape to Margaritaville, Legally Blonde, Little Shop of Horrors, and Matilda; and was the lead dancer, Maria Branwell, in Netflix’s The Queen’s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience (Chicago).

I’m currently based in both Chicago and New York City and am represented by Gray Talent Group. I am also on faculty at The Chicago Academy for the Arts where I teach Ballet for the Musical Theatre Department.
