​I was born and raised in Arlington, Massachusetts and I was, as my mother called me, a "happy head". From a very early age, I was desperate to excite those around me, sometimes through impromptu living room staged performances with my brother singing backup. The first live theatre I saw was a local children's theater production of Charlotte's Web. At the end of the performance, I turned to my mother at the bright age of 6 and told her that I must be a part of that. The next year I was in my first musical and I never stopped performing from there on out. Growing up, I joined multiple local choirs and performed in at least two musicals a year. I began writing original songs in high school as well. I am currently in my last year of the Molloy/CAP21 BFA program.

   I want to be the person on that stage that lets someone in the audience feel seen. Theatre to me is all about seeing ourselves and seeing each other. Theatre-going is an exchange of empathy. When we are able to see ourselves reflected back at us, we can either rejoice in our joy or grow from our pain. In this way, theatre heals people.
