ABOUT ME
I'm a Chicago-based actor, but willing to travel! I was born and raised in Texas, but somehow missed out on the charming drawl like McConaughey...According to my mom,
I was a character and showed a penchant for performing, years before even stepping onto the stage!
I studied at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, where I had the chance to do the first improv show in the school's history, study at the world renowned Royal Shakespeare Company and the nationally recognized Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
After graduation, I acted in a world premiere (Exit 27), and a few regional premieres (Assistance, Kill Devil Hills) before I decided to go back to school and take my training to the next level in the form of a Masters of Fine Arts degree. I decided to brave the Midwestern, Appalachian winters and attend Ohio University's MFA program, where I was one of only ten selected to study for the three years that the program required. While there, I collaborated with all kinds of wonderful directors in theatre and film, and met some wonderful people, including the love of my life, Angela.
Since graduating in 2018, I have been eager to work with others who share a passion for vibrant and visceral storytelling.
