“Music is a more primary language to me than speech.”

Broadway National Tour Off-Broadway

I grew up in Maryland singing in the choir before I could really hold a conversation.

My aunt was on Broadway in Hairspray — so it never felt like just a dream. It felt like something you could actually do. I went to Walnut Hill, then Michigan, then New York — working the front desk at a gym and going on auditions, until one morning I got a voicemail I’ll never forget.

I believe in the craft as much as the performance. The love of performing can fade — but the love of learning it is what sustains you.
