Person Biography:
Born and raised in Hershey, Pennsylvania, in a large sports-oriented family, I was an unconventional kid with a passion for acting. My parents, particularly my dad, who analyzes risk for a living, were initially taken aback by my desire to pursue a career in the arts. Despite this, I had a strong support system that encouraged me to follow my dreams.
Growing up, I found solace in acting as an escape from my own reality. Without queer role models to look up to, I felt drawn to living someone else's life for a few hours. This experience helped me confront my own reality and sparked a passion for storytelling. I discovered that telling someone else's story made me feel more comfortable telling my own.
I pursued my passion for acting at Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I earned my BFA in Acting. During my time at the university, I had the opportunity to work on various productions, including 42nd Street, Much Ado About Nothing, Pippin, and the Grand Opening Gala for the New Pittsburgh Playhouse. I also appeared in numerous student films, straight plays, and play festivals.
In addition to my collegiate experience, I honed my craft through summer stock theatre contracts, including a production of Mamma Mia! at the Fulton Theatre. After graduating in 2020, I took a step back to continue learning and refining my skills through classes with Matthew Corozine Studio and Mike Ruckles Voice Studio.
I recently shot my first feature film, which is set to release in 2022. With my education and experience under my belt, I am now ready to take on the challenges of the entertainment industry in New York City, equipped with the skills and confidence to make my mark on the big screen.
