A Short Biography
Born and raised in Starkville, MS (though my parents are Maryland natives), my first experience with being in a play occurred early in my education where I was chosen to portray a teacher. However, it wasn't until around fourth grade, through generous grants to my county, that I was exposed fully to the wonderful world of acting. Within the next year I was doing two community theatre productions, two school productions, voice overwork for local students at Mississippi State University, and modeling on the side with my sister.
This busy routine continued in varying patterns and forms through my childhood and culminated with my graduation from Starkville High School in 2009. Due to the limited support for the arts in cities and colleges within Mississippi I accepted the scholarships offered by Missouri State University, and made the first major move in my life. At college I flexed my abilities and garnered more experience with new techniques and skills. I found myself equally capable and desired in both acting and the technical side of theatre. My experiences cover dramaturgy, directing, acting, writing, producing, carpentry, and just about anything else you can name that involves theatre.
After the culmination of the LA showcase and Tent Theatre in 2013, I accepted a production and artistic internship at the Actor's Theatre of Charlotte where I currently work and reside until the end of August 2014.
