My passion for acting started in the 3rd grade when I was cast in my elementary school production of 101 Dalmatians where I had the pleasure of playing Cruella de Vil. Featuring as my school’s tiny terror had me realize at a young age exactly how much I loved performing. From that point on I spent most of my childhood doing theater. After starring in a Brigham Young University production of Mary Poppins I was scouted by directors for the Little Women (2018) film, and was cast in the role of Amy March. After a brush with Hollywood, a red carpet event, and a nationwide release in theaters, I realized that acting was something I could manage to do for life.

Since then, I worked diligently to refine and sharpen my talents at Utah Valley University in the BFA acting program and graduated in 2025. Improv became a personal love developed through my time in college, with a particular excitement coming from winning “Best Actress” at the Utah Collegiate competition for Long Form Improv in 2024. I’ve also had the privilege of working on a podcast through GenZ Media which fueled a new passion for voice over as well - which continues to be an industry I am eager to learn more about and dip my toes into!

In my free time, I am fond of music production and have been working on refining my abilities to make song covers and create new music (link to cover account in socials). I love to learn and study new languages and then implement them as I sing. I am a big time nerd who loves to play Baldur’s Gate 3 (until way too late at night), gets caught up in hours-long conversations about movies and TV shows, enjoys cosplay, and is currently working on a high-fantasy romance novel. Also, I am absolutely obsessed with guinea pigs.
