Hopefully you'll find the answer to that one question you've been dying to ask me here!
As Julie Andrews once said so perfectly,
Many years ago in the year 2002- okay, okay, maybe not the very beginning. I grew up living a small town life in Maryland. I knew very early on what it was that I wanted. I dove head first into every theatrical opportunity until I made the jump to New York City to attend Marymount Manhattan College. After two years, I transferred to Liberty University in Virginia where I was met with a plethora of opportunities. After another two years in Virginia, I graduated with my BFA in Musical Theatre.
Even from a young age, my cousins and I would entertain our families with silly performances. As thrilling as I'm sure those were, my first notable theatrical experience was the understudy for Princess Winifred in Once Upon a Mattress. While taking on roles like Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof, Cinderella in Into the Woods, and understudying Ariel in The Little Mermaid, I was also given the opportunity to be my high school’s set designer. Opportunities were hard to come by once Covid hit, but once I transferred to Liberty, my doors began to open back up. I am extremely grateful to have been cast in Curtains, The Music Man, Cinderella, Titanic: The Musical, and my favorite; Silent Sky, where I got to combine my two passions on stage: astronomy and theatre.
(Since you've made it this far, I'm assuming you want the fun stuff now...)
Chasing the
Ever since I was young, I've always been fascinated by the night sky; from the stars to the northern lights. I had always thought that my lifelong dream of seeing the northern lights would remain a dream...until the year 2020. The pandemic hit during my senior year of high school, into my freshman year of college where I attended classes virtually. Like many, I tried to make the most out of what I was given, so, I packed up my virtual college to a remote Cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for two weeks where I experienced and photographed the northern lights almost every night. Ever since, I have been hooked on the thrill of the chase, becoming an avid aurora chaser and enthusiast!
Getting Lost in the Great Outdoors
Aside from the sheer terror I feel from hearing a bee whiz by my face, I love spending time outside, whether it's at night or on a hike (especially if Andy comes along, the cute pup on the left).
That's Me!
While my passions for theatre, nature, and photography are great, there is nothing I value more than the people in my life who made me who I am and who have helped me achieve so many of my goals and dreams. I love spending time with the people I love the most...and doing the worm when they get married...
