About

Hello! What am I currently working?

Frozen!!

I’m currently A2, ASM, Lead Electrician, and the Puppet Wrangler for Frozen at New Stage Theatre!

Here’s a Recap of important things in my professional Career:

2017-2020: Throughout iO Chicago’s improv program, I worked on characters, organic improv openers, the basics of saying "yes, and...", organic games, the Harold form, other long-form structures, and grounded scene work. At The Annoyance Theatre, we worked on making strong emotional choices, making bold character choices, and diving deeper into what we’ve created. I got to put all of these skills into action during performances with my improv teams John Claude Van Gogh and Sonic Screwdriver. I feel like a more confident performer because of this training as well as a more confident writer. Every day, I am taught something new in improv: about life, art, and about people.

I got to explore the 12 guideposts of acting through three different scenes in Advanced Scene Study (Acting Studio Chicago) with Kurt Naebig. I worked to make strong choices, be truthful, and bring myself to every audition and every character.

I worked as permanent House Staff at Blue Man Group and as Front of House staff for Broadway in Chicago, which exposed me to so many shows and new experiences I never would have been able to experience without those two companies.

I produced, wrote, and created my first full-length web series, Scratch That!, which has 12 episodes on YouTube. I started a re-brand of the channel to be my production company, Scratch That! Entertainment, a channel for short films and web series. Our second web series, Bottled Up, had a friend and family cast and crew viewing party at The Second City! We participated in 5 film festivals, and won 2 awards for “Best Web Series” and “Best English Web Series”! We are currently looking for wider distribution.

2021-2025: I decided to make use of my time and complete a Business Essentials Certificate Program at Northwestern University. I graduated from the program in December 2021 and started my MBA at the University of Mississippi in January 2022.

I graduated with my masters in 2024 and walked in 2025.

I started working contracts at New Stage Theatre and have been there in various capacities for 4 seasons. My positions have been performer, assistant director, assistant stage manager, lighting designer, lead electrician, A2, puppet wrangler, head deck, light board operator, run crew, properties designer, and covid safety manager.

I also briefly moved to the United Kingdom to work as a Deputy Stage Manager for a new English adaptation of Ubu Cocu, which has been accepted into London play festivals and is working to join Fringe festivals all around the UK.
