I grew up in a small town in Colorado. There, I fell in love with theatre and had the quintessential theatrical beginning, performing in small parts in Annie and Oklahoma! before starring as Gypsy Rose Lee in Gypsy.

I knew from the moment I set foot on stage that performing was what I was meant to do.

After high school, I moved to NY instead of attending the North Carolina School of the Arts.

I bopped around with musical theatre for a bit before landing on improvisation. First, short-form, then I discovered The Upright Citizens Brigade. I took classes, performed, and eventually, I even taught some musical improvisation.
