About Me

I’m a Detroit native fueled by storytelling, curiosity, and connection onstage and off. A songwriter, avid foodie, and performer at heart, I’m constantly inspired by the people I meet and the places I explore. Whether I’m creating on stage, writing music, or building something new, I’m drawn to spaces where imagination meets professionalism and collaboration brings ideas to life.

My love for performing started before I could even spell the word. I began dancing at the age of three, and the stage quickly became my home. Dance was my first introduction to storytelling through movement, and over time that passion expanded into a deep love for performing in all its forms... on stage, in front of the camera, and behind the scenes.

Creativity has always extended beyond performance for me. In high school, I discovered a passion for writing and producing music. Since then, I’ve continued creating original songs, some of which are now available on Spotify, with more on the way. Music gives me another way to tell stories and share emotions and experiences that words alone sometimes can’t capture.

Outside of the performing arts, I channel my creativity through fashion. I’m the Founder and CEO of Thrift Tease, a vintage clothing brand built around sustainability and self-expression. I believe pre-loved clothing deserves a second life, and that fashion can be both bold and conscious. Curating vintage pieces and giving them new purpose is one more way I get to create while contributing to a more sustainable world.

At the core of everything I do is a desire to create, connect, and bring stories to life. Whether through dance, music, theatre, or fashion. As I make New York City my home, I’m excited to collaborate with other creatives, grow as an artist, and continue exploring the many ways storytelling can shape the world around us.

And along the way, I’ll bring a strong work ethic, adaptability, warmth… and probably a few really bad dad jokes.
