My journey began at age nine when my parents packed me into the car for a trip to Proctors Theatre to see the National Tour of Wicked. Sitting in that audience, I was completely captivated by the magic on stage and knew instantly that I had found my calling. That spark drove me to immerse myself in acting and dance training throughout high school, eventually leading me to SUNY Fredonia, where I earned my B.A. in Music Performance and graduated cum laude.
