Performance

My mom put me into a dance class when I was three and I haven’t stopped performing since. Whether it was my starring role in my second grade play, The Tiger, the Brahman, and the Jackal, or originating a role in a show written for my classmates and me at NYU, the theatre has always been a safe space for me.

Creating New Work

While attending NYU, I had the privilege of originating roles in new works on a number of separate occasions. I have a passion for the creation of new theatre, and I love the challenge of being able to find the show through close collaborations between performers, writers, and directors.

Costumes

While at NYU I had numerous opportunities to take classes that were strictly involved in costume design, including dress history, wardrobe, hair, and makeup classes. I also had the opportunity to work in the wardrobe department for a few shows. I had the privilege of having excellent, world class professors including Therese Bruck, Hilary Rosenfeld, and Sydney Maresca. Through my education, I have developed a deep love for the attention to detail clothing can add to the visual narrative of a play or film.
