Under the Colorado Moon🌙

This was truly the most wonderful first contract I could’ve ever asked for!! Grateful for this beautiful community and the opportunity to spread my wings as an actor—let’s do it all again soon, shall we?❤️

Porch Light💡

I’m not normally one for a sappy caption, but after a decade of being convinced I would never perform well in commercial/fusion styles (let alone find my sense of groove outside a pair of tap shoes), I decided I was going to change that post-grad. I’ve been so lucky to find wonderful people and teachers who’ve encouraged me to tap into that side of myself fearlessly, and for the first time, I feel truly comfortable in my skin. I’m so grateful for the past year of growth and change!! Cheers to four months in NYC, reigniting my fire, and the adventures and progress ahead!!

Good times are here to stay!!🛟

I am overjoyed to announce that I’m making my summer stock debut in “Under the Colorado Moon” and as Joan in “Dames At Sea” at The Butte Theater this summer!! I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunities to push myself as an artist and tap my heart out—be sure to get your tickets!!

LET’S DO THIS!!!🌙

One year ago💙🌟

Just a little delayed on this one… but on May 3rd, 2025, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Oklahoma City University with my Bachelor of Performing Arts in Dance Performance!! I feel incredibly lucky to have called OCU my first chosen home/move—not only did it prepare me for the whirlwind ways of the industry, but it gifted me some of the most wonderful humans in my life. I will be forever grateful to be part of the constellation of Stars, and I know little Hudson (pictured on her first tour of OCU on slide 13) would be beyond overjoyed by what’s been in store for her!!
