Born and raised in Northern New Jersey, I was blessed with being able to grow up living about forty five minutes outside the greatest city in the world, New York City. As I sat in the audience of Mary Poppins on Broadway at age five, I decided right then and there that I was going to be involved in theatre. Ever since that moment, my love for theatre and dance has only grown.

Growing up, I danced at a small studio in the basement of our local YMCA entitled Studio 691. Although my dance experience was unlike many of my friends, I treasure the time I spent at the Y. The Y is where my love for not only performance but for the backstage side of theatre was born.

I was blessed to have been able to foster that passion during my time as a Dance Management major at the Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment at Oklahoma City University. While at OCU, I was able to learn more not only about stage management, but all aspects of the performing arts industry, from nonprofit management to touring organizations to the history of dance and musical theatre, and so much more! The Ann Lacy School and the Dance Management degree taught me so much about the entertainment industry, and I am so grateful to have spent my time learning from the amazing faculty and being able to share in their wisdom.
