• Bright Star at @templetheatrenc !

Finally coming around to a closing post 😅😭 I’m so grateful for all of the people I got to meet and work with. A beautiful story with a beautiful cast. This show will always have a special place in my heart. I’ve wanted to do this show for so long and to be able to play Florence, be in the ensemble, and play the guitar onstage, it has been a journey!! I miss everyone. Can we have another round??

When you set out on an adventure, barefoot on an old country road, those first few steps can be timid while you negotiate the dirt mixed with loose gravel beneath your feet, but before you know it you find your pacing, and then suddenly you take a deep curve, a deep breath, and your off and running. This is sadly the point of the road where I stay behind, but I can't tell you how proud I am to have been with you all at the start, and how excited I am for you all to journey on to the end. Enjoy the feel of the dirt. Keep running.

I am SO excited to share that I arrived in Ashland, Oregon this week as a new company member of @osfashland ! For the next 9 months, I'll be here covering roles in OSF's productions of Come From Away and Yellow Face which will run during the 2026 season (the 91st in the theatre's history!).

It's hard for me to put into words what this moment means to me. When I took up community theater almost 8 years ago now, I never dreamed I'd have the opportunity or the courage to step away from what's been an incredibly rewarding corporate career to pursue my passion for performing at this level. But by God's grace and God's grace alone, here I am setting out on an unbelievable adventure!

I am so grateful for all the productions I've gotten to take part in over the years, for everything those experiences taught me and for how they've prepared me for this beautifully surprising season of life. I'm grateful for all of the triumphant bows, botched auditions, late nights, challenges, growth, indescribable joy, and friendships that have gently (and sometimes not so gently) pushed me to keep at it. This is definitely a moment where I'm looking back and reflecting on the journey thus far and all the awesome people that have been a part of it. What a crazy ride.

I couldn't be here without my agency team @graytalentgroup who has been so accommodating, my wonderful friends, my @progressivechicago family, my bio family (the GOATs!), and my God who can truly do anything and never ceases to amaze me.

Let's do this! 🙌🏽
