My journey in the performing arts began at the age of six, when I first discovered the joy of singing and acting. Over the years, I immersed myself in numerous local productions, bringing characters to life in delightful performances such as The Addams Family, Oklahoma, and Sister Act. A pivotal moment in my early career came when I was cast as Jane in the high school production of Mary Poppins at the age of ten, an experience that solidified my passion for the stage. Throughout this journey, I have dedicated myself to honing my craft, taking voice lessons since I was six years old, and currently studying under the expert guidance of Matt Farnsworth Vocal Studio. Each performance and lesson has shaped me, deepening my love for the art and enriching my skills as a performer.
With help from my vocal and acting coaches, I was cast as the lead in Legally Blonde Jr. This has sparked a new passion for me, combining performance and storytelling. Preparing for this role has been eye-opening and transformative. As I explore the character of Elle Woods, I am reminded of her strength and creativity. Each rehearsal allows me to understand her personality and the empowering themes of the story. My coaches have guided me in developing my vocal skills and embracing the dramatic aspects of the role. Portraying Elle is not just acting; it celebrates determination and self-acceptance. I was honored to bring her journey to life and inspiring others to embrace their uniqueness.
I am honored to have sung the national anthem for both the Hudson Valley Renegades and the Saugerties Stallions, which has deepened my musical connection to these vibrant communities. Now, I’m venturing into songwriting under the guidance of talented singer-songwriter Sarah Powers. Her expertise inspires me to explore lyrical storytelling and melody composition. This new chapter will allow me to express my experiences and emotions through original work, creating powerful songs that resonate and foster connections beyond words.
