Growing up in a Boston suburb, my siblings and I were introduced to theatre at a young age through H.A.A.M (Hilarious Acting Around Massachusetts). From such roles as "Preschooler" and "Runaway Cow", I developed a love for being on stage. With my newfound love of arts, I looked for any way to entertain others: dancing, singing, and playing the oboe. I was able to put all these skills to good use at Camp Encore/Coda for 9 years. During my summers there, I grew as a musician, theatre-maker, and person. 

​

Going into college, I thought I was going to leave that all behind me. However, within my first month at American University, I stumbled into an audition room and have been auditioning for shows since. In my sophomore year, I officially declared my double major in Communication Studies and Theatre Arts. Since then, I have been expanding my love of theatre from onstage to behind the scenes, having had opportunities to act, stage manage, and work in lighting during my time at AU. 

​

In 2021, I began working at the Puppet Co. and continued to practice the skills I had developed in school and have had the opportunities to learn about ticketing software, puppet creation and maintenance, and the art of puppeteering. Since first being brought on, I have worn many hats at TPC, including Box Office Manager, Marketing Manager, puppeteer, director, and my current full-time title Production and Operations Manager.

​

Outside of the Puppet Co., I was a company member of Wildwood Summer Theater from 2020-2024 as well as a tenured board member for the 2024 season. As a company run by people between the ages of 14-25, I learned a lot about what it means to put on a community show and was able to encourage the next generation of performers to continue to follow their passions.
