HEY Y'ALL!
I was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, and from the time I first danced around the living room in my dress-up heels, I always knew I wanted to perform! I grew up dancing competitively, and once I saw one of our dance moms play Ursula in The Little Mermaid at Music Theatre Wichita, I told my mom, “I want to do THAT!”
I went on to continue my dance training, and while performing throughout my childhood, I developed my love, passion, and drive for musical theatre. I firmly believe that theatre can make a difference with connection and storytelling, and my goal is to do exactly that. I’m grateful to be able to do what I love and complete my time at Penn State. WE ARE !!
Some of my favorite experiences have been developing new musicals. A few of my favorite new musicals to be a part of are True Crime Frankenstein (Matt Cox & Eli Bolin), Centralia (Adam Chanler-Berat & Julian Hornik), and The Morris and Essex Line (Joshua Salzman & Ryan Cunnningham). Some other credits include Tess/Dance Captain in Crazy For You and Prudencia/U.S. Bernarda in Bernarda Alba at Penn State, and Ensemble in 42nd Street at Music Theatre Wichita.
And if you ever hear anyone call me Pickle, yes, that’s my nickname! Originating from my sassy toddler-self being told by my grandpa that I can be "sweet or sour" :)
