I was born in Cleveland, Ohio. I attended Kent State University as an Honors student, where I graduated summa cum laude. I majored in Theatre Performance, with a double minor in Pre-law and Philosophy.

​

Over the course of my career, I have participated in many different productions in a variety of roles. Notably, I was the dramaturg for Kent State’s 2022 production of Much Ado About Nothing. I played the Evil Wizard in the experimental all-audio show, Inside the Box. I served as a leader in several organizations, including the Kent State Nursing Sims Student Coordinator, President of Transforum Theatre, and Secretary for BATSA (Bachelor of the Arts Theatre Student Association) and All-in on the Kent State campus.
 

I had the opportunity to partner with Dr. Yuko Kurahashi and the SURE (Summer Undergraduate Research Experience) program to create the book: An Educators' and Learners' Guide To Shakespeare Through Stagings and Adaptations, a free online resource book that aims to make Shakespeare more accessible to students and teachers in high school and collegiate classrooms. Through the SURE program, I was entered into a 3-minute thesis competition, where I had just 3 minutes to explain my work and the benefit it would bring. My work won first place in my division. It has been published and is available for viewing through my website and through the Open Access Kent State Library or in the "Work With Me" section of this website. My hope is that people will be able to use this resource to better understand and appreciate the works of Shakespeare.

​

I am also a regular working actor currently represented by The Talent Group. My resume is linked and featured below. If you would like to contact me about working together, please send me a message through the "Contact" page on this website or reach out through my agent at The Talent Group.

​

I also authored A Midsummer Day’s Awakening, a full 5 act play written in Shakespearean English and Iambic Pentameter that tells the story of what occurs directly after the events of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I have been interviewed about this works several times, including twice on The Research Review, a podcast that features upcoming researchers and the work they have accomplished.
