Short Biography

I’m a Maryland native and I graduated from Syracuse University with a BFA in Musical Theatre. I’ve been performing in the DC area for the last two years. I have worked at The Keegan Theatre, Signature Theatre, Imagination Stage, Scena Theater, Red Branch Theatre Company and a few other companies since graduating.I play Dani. Getting into the mindset of this character has been a lot of looking back and recalling memories of what it’s like to be a kid. Oddly enough I have very specific memories about being 8 and being 10 but I guess my 9-year-old past escaped me. I do relate to her through her vivid imagination. I always took myself on wild adventures in my backyard. What has been interesting to recall is how as a child you are so open to things. You are completely fine going up to people you don’t know and saying hi and asking if they want to play. It’s rather sad how quickly that quality gets squished out of us. And she is so open and wants to know everything and experience everything and even in the face of this disease she doesn’t let it get the best of her. She isn’t even scared of it. She just looks at everything through this big lens of curiosity and that is one of those qualities that I definitely used to have as a kid, but I think the older you get the more you get set in your ways. So I am trying to open up the wonderful world of possibilities again, in order to explore this character.
