I am a Theatre Artist, originally from Alexandria, Indiana. I started performing in middle school at my homeschool Co-Op. Performing throughout high school I developed my passion not only for performing, but all aspects of Theatre, helping to found The Commons Theatre in 2012 where I acted, directed, built sets, set up chairs, cleaned bathrooms, etc all through high school and early undergrad. 

I attended Taylor University in Upland, Indiana  where I majored in Theatre Arts, performing, designing costumes, stage managing, and anmything else I possibly could while doing professional internships in the costume shop at PCPA in Santa Maria, CA during the summers. After a brief hold in my career (spent doing commission work out of my parents' guest bedroom) in 2020 and 2021, I moved to Chicago to freelance and then to Rock Island, IL where I served as the Resident Costume Designer and Shop Manager at Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse until the fall of 2026 when I moved to Champaign, IL to get my MFA in Costume Design at the University of Illinois. 

While Costume Design is my main focus, performing, directing, and theatre administration remain vital parts of who I am as an artist and person and I meet every opportunity to participate in those areas with joy and passion.
