From the moment I could speak, I was already singing, and I haven’t stopped since.
My passion for acting has been a constant throughout my life, with childhood hours spent watching television always framed as "research" for my future. Despite being a shy kid, I took a leap at 11 years old and auditioned for my first musical. Since then, I've continued to grow as a singer and actor, recently performing with the Staples Players in Westport, Connecticut.
In the fall of 2022, I faced a major setback—a severe concussion. During that difficult time, music became my refuge and the one thing I could safely pursue. With the guidance of my mentor, David Friedman, I began to explore songwriting and studio recording, turning a challenge into a new creative outlet.
Music and performing have always been my way of pushing through obstacles. No matter what comes my way, creating and sharing through song and acting is what keeps me going.
