Welcome!

I am a Chicago native who has spent the last 17 years making New York City my home, but recently returned to Chicago to explore the unique and bold theatre scene of the Windy City.

From childhood, music and dance have been a huge part of my life and dance gave me a voice when I was still searching for who I was.

Being a theatre artist has been everything but ordinary. I have traveled to and performed on stages in 49 of the 50 United States and in two countries outside of the United States. I have been a Stepmother, a Dancing Queen, a Bloodhound, a Witch (twice), a Wizard, a Trailer Park Diva and a Nun. I have been French, German (many times), Russian and Italian. I have been in the past the present and I have seen the future. What theatre has given me is an outlet to connect with people and share the stories of humanity in the most timeless and beautiful shared experience. As “Ellen Fanshaw” said (and I will never forget) “I love it when the story is good and the audience is listening”. 

I am here to learn, from everything and everyone around me.

I believe it is my task, and great joy,  to be an ever-evolving canvas that can be stretched and shaped, always seeking new and exciting ways to see the world and allowing the world to transform me as an artist and as a human being.

So, let’s play.
