From the moment I could speak, I was singing and I haven’t stopped since.
Performance has always been a constant in my life. What started as childhood “research” watching TV eventually turned into stepping on stage, pushing past my shyness to audition for my first musical at age 11.
Since then, I’ve continued to grow as both a singer and actor, performing with the Staples Players in Westport, Connecticut, and now as a student at the University of Southern California, where I continue to train and perform.
In the fall of 2022, I faced a major setback when I suffered a severe concussion. During that time, music became my refuge, the one creative outlet I could fully lean into. With the guidance of my mentor, David Friedman, I began writing and recording my own songs, turning a difficult chapter into something meaningful.
Music and performance are how I process challenges and keep moving forward. No matter what comes next, creating and sharing my work is what drives me.
