My Journey as a Multi-Hyphenate Artist

I grew up on my family farm in Oklahoma, dreaming of a life in the arts. After earning my BM in Musical Theatre, I headed straight to NYC, performed on stages around the world, earned my MFA, and built a career as a multi-hyphenate performer, educator, and mentor.

Today, I split my time between performing and teaching, embracing both as essential parts of my artistic journey. On stage and on screen, I bring complex, female-driven stories to life. As a mentor, I help performers navigate the ever-evolving industry, build their online presence, and approach auditions with confidence in this digital-first era.

No matter where you start, with persistence, strategy, and passion, you can create a career that’s uniquely your own—and I’m here to help you do it.
