At the end of the day, I am a glorified liar! And boy, is it fun!

Growing up in California, my first claim to fame was booking a commercial with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll for Play 60... dig enough, and you’ll find it. At Syracuse University, I had the privilege of playing Celia in Shakespeare’s As You Like It. To continue my Shakespeare training, I studied abroad in London at the Globe Theatre, where I performed as Benedick in a selected scene from Much Ado About Nothing. I also participated in on-camera classes throughout my four years, where I was able to write and act in a scene from my original screenplay!

As a second-semester senior, I was chosen to participate in Sorkin Week in Los Angeles over spring break through Syracuse University. The week was filled with workshops and meetings with agents, managers, casting directors, writers, and producers. Put together by Aaron Sorkin, I am so grateful for the opportunity to explore the TV/Film side of the industry.
