Been a few weeks now since we closed but I’ve been taking my time reflecting on my past 4(ish) years with BOM. I’m so grateful for all the people this show has brought into my life, along with all the experiences and memories that I’ll get to take with me forever!! Of course touring is so hard in so many ways and I’d be lying if I didn’t acknowledge what a relief it is to finally be back home, but it’s certainly bittersweet. I have so many photos and videos I could share from all my time on the road I almost didn’t even know where to begin, but here are some of my favorite moments from just this past season.

If doing this show has taught me anything, it’s that COMMUNITY is everything. So FRIENDS: hmu if you’re in Los Angeles!! And I’ll be sure to do the same whether I’m in New York or NC… wherever! Let’s get coffee and stay in touch :)

2025 -> 2026 🎆

Some highlights from this past year! 2025 ended great and 2026 has gotten off to an ever better start! @kelseytickner and @jordantickner tied the knot, I said goodbye to my 20s and about a week ago I hit my 600th show with BOM! Just finished a weekend of shows in Eugene, OR and flying down to Tempe, AZ today! Also, looking forward to our 3-week sit in San Fran coming up as well as two weeks that I’ll get to spend at home in Los Angeles!! 🙏🏼

TOUR / LIFE UPDATES PART 2:

Had so much fun in Duluth with @alc_233 and @neeraalee !! We did some s’mores, multiple days of coffee / walking around Lake Superior (shout out to Studio Cafe and Vita Pizza! 🍕🤤) and had perfect weather and Fall colors the whole time 🍂

Also, playing Flip 7 with some hot cider was the absolute best. @d.k.weaver @dmacbivings @craigcfranke When are we going back to that Airbnb?? 👀

I recreated an old Halloween costume this year! Decided to throw it back to 1999!! @erikaxiomarareyes thinks I was probably going for Max from Where The Wild Things Are…I think she’s probably right LOL 🎃

And finally….LETS GO DODGERS!!!! WORLD CHAMPS AGAIN!!!! 💙💙💙 taken in Duluth, Minnesota by @gideonchickos

TOUR / LIFE UPDATES - PART 1

Super behind on sharing what I’ve been up to the past few months but here we go:

1. Erika and I being goofy at the little coffee shop by our apartment (Oh, also they sell the best butter in the freaking WORLD here 🤤)
2. Seeing @seancflanagan in Shucked!! So much fun! And also got to see @whoframedryanrabbit and @carlycaviglia
3. Enjoying the park by my apartment before going on tour again
4. KICKASS burger place right by our even MORE kickass Airbnb in Kansas City. There was also a kickass Thai place called Lulu’s, kickass coffee shops, a kickass barcade… KC kicked ass is what I’m saying 😂
5. Tried the signature AMF cocktail from The Upstairs Pub in Bloomington, IN. Now I just need to try The Dirty Bird and I will have completed the famous IU Bermuda Triangle (when are we going back @craigcfranke ?) 👀
6. I WON SURVIVOR!!! I still can’t believe it! Congrats to my fellow finalists @claytonlukens and @jewellnoel.nyc (and @k_abethea but not really 😏😈)
7. Our show in Abilene, TX got cancelled but these ladies drove 2+ hours just to see us so we sang Latter Day for them at the pool! 🥹
8. Randomly ran into @laurapierpont92 and @philantgiandiletti in OKC?? They were at a wedding happening literally right in front of our theatre…A truly CRAZY coincidence!! ❤️
9-11. Pics from Chicago!! So glad Erika was able to come for the week :) Even though I got food poisoning on Saturday 😬
12. Back on the bus
13. Awesome burgers and a little dominos in Eau Claire with @lo__sto @jjbaret and @robert.cohen11 🍔
14. Ramen club was alive and well in Madison!!
15-16. More pics from Madison :)

Its CHORUS LINE DAY!!!!!!! 🎩✨

Happy 50th Anniversary to this beautiful show!! To have been even a microscopic part of Michael Bennett’s incredible legacy means so much to me it’s really hard to put into words. This show is dedicated to anyone who has danced in a chorus anywhere…ever! It reminds us that every one of us is special and has something unique to offer. As dancers we can be so unbelievably hard on ourselves - constantly striving for perfection, battling injuries, working ourselves to the bone and feeling unseen all the while. But this show is a constant reminder to me that what we do we do for love, and it’s NOT just another job. We do this because it’s what we were born to do. I can relate to every single character in this show in one way or another. They all have something important to teach and there’s so much wisdom that can be gained from their stories.

IN OTHER NEWS: I’m BACK on the road for another year with Book Of Mormon!!!! (Back to my same tracking and everything! Woo!) We just finished our tech rehearsals up in Yakima, WA and now we’re on our way to Victoria, British Columbia to open Season 4!! Very excited and grateful to be working again but also heartbroken to be missing @achorusline50 with everyone this Sunday at the Shubert Theatre! It’s bittersweet but I really am so lucky to be a part of the ACL family AND the BOM family! They really are “the gifts that keep on giving”

Endlessly thankful to @baayork and @jenwernercannizzaro for bringing these two amazing shows into my life!! Kiss today goodbye, and mahanaibu eebowai! by @gideonchickos

HELLO AGAIN!!! 👋🏼

Surprise! Haven’t really been posting about it too much but for the last few weeks I’ve been back on the road with BOM as a temporary standby. It’s been so much fun meeting all the new folks and stepping back into the show after almost a whole year away. This weekend I made my RE-DEBUT as Elder McKinley and was on for all 4 shows!! Such a crazy and surreal experience ✨

And to top it all off, we’re traveling back to DURHAM today so I’ll get a chance to spend a whole week at home which is just wild that that worked out the way it did. Feeling very grateful right now 🙏🏼

Also, HUGE congrats to @claytonlukens who made his debut this weekend and got thrown into this shit faster than you can say “fuck frog!” 🐸
