I started acting when I was 10 years old, performing in plays at Rosewood Arts Center. Acting began as a form of gender and self expression, helping me process my adoption trauma and understand my gender identity. I continued to perform in plays as well as musicals in high school and then went on to receive my BFA in Acting from Wright State University. I didn't receive any formal dance training until I got to college, but I discovered dancing is a passion of mine, not only at parties and in life in general, but onstage as well. I love to groove like water and shake my hips!!!
