About
A multifaceted artist —
transparent, honest, alive on stage.
I'm an actor with five years' experience — from high school productions to performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. I specialize in stage acting (plays and musicals), but I'm always looking for new opportunities. My approach combines transparency, honesty, and creative vision.
What makes me unique is my multifaceted approach. Beyond acting I'm a musician — I play live acoustic guitar and vocal gigs in my hometown every summer, and I've written and recorded songs in the Folk/Country genre. I'll be attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts with a Musical Theatre emphasis in NYC, starting August 2026.
