My acting career began in elementary school and continued through college, acting, stage-managing, and directing whenever possible. My first involvement with CYT was in 2006 when I taught theatre classes and worked backstage. I then moved to Harrisonburg to continue my theatre studies at Blue Ridge Community College. There, I stage-managed and performed in shows such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Marriage of Bette and Boo, DuPont Mississippi, and Barefoot in the Park. Since college, I have directed Christmas plays at my church and developed several theatre summer camps. In 2014 I studied acting and modeling with Actors, Models, and Talent for Christ (AMTC) in New York, taking classes from acting coaches and casting directors. As a result of that incredible experience, I found a family with Kingdom Bound Productions, performing on stage and filming television pilots. I returned to CYT in 2017 after relocating to Spotsylvania to teach classes, stage-manage, and direct.
