hello and welcome!
I grew up on Broadway St. in the middle of rural Wisconsin. Somewhere in that sentence is a profound metaphor about my journey from “drive your tractor to school day” to a very different Broadway St. in New York City.
As a multi-disciplinary artist, I am a performer, choreographer, and writer who embraces stories that center around human connection, the dichotomy of love and grief, and uplifting women’s voices, stories, and experiences.
Currently, you can catch me performing in the Queens Short Play Festival as “Arya” in Werewolves, Wake Up by Jude Cramer. Other recent credits include How to Set a Broken Bone choreographed by Amanda Spencer (seen in Fertile Ground’s, New Works Showcase) and presenting my own original work, Eden, in Forager Theatre Company’s, The Colors of Paradise: A Dance Concert.

Werewolves, Wake Up
I’m currently playing “Arya” in Werewolves, Wake Up as a part of the Queens Short Play Festival. I’ve had such a blast working with this dream team and getting to play around with this character. Come check us out at the Secret Theatre and help rank us forward to the semi-finals!
How to Set a Broken Bone
I was recently seen in Fertile Ground’s, New Works Showcase - performing in How to Set a Broken Bone, choreographed by Amanda Spencer. This was a full circle dance piece, as I was lucky enough to see its first drafts back in college. It was so wonderful getting to return to such a special group of people and a dance work that influenced me greatly as a student.
