About Me
Hello there! I am an actress, improviser, and director currently based in Staunton, Virginia. I am extremely passionate about movement work, improv, and Shakespeare.
My journey into the realm of theatre began with Commedia Dell’Arte, where I found an enthusiasm for clowning and bardic based performance. I hold a B.S. in Marketing and a B.A. in Theatre Arts from the University of Pittsburgh.
I am currently pursuing MLitt & MFA degrees in Shakespeare and Performance at Mary Baldwin University.
In my free time I attend renaissance fairs ands read fantasy novels!
