My passion exists in the discovery and exploration of the arts and nature. Hailing from Chicago’s arts desert, the West Side, I joined the circus (theater, that is) and received my BFA in Theatre from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
My on-screen credits include Highland Park (Pilot), Cheetah in August - S2 (Amazon), Roommates, Counter Clockwise, Pain N Love, and Nite Stalker.
Theater credits include Intimate Apparel (Clarence Brown Theater - Knoxville, TN), Court-Martial at Fort Devens (Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre - Chicago, IL), Panther Burn (Greenhouse Theatre - Chicago, IL), No Place to Be Somebody (Chicago - IL), Deep Azure (workshopped with Chadwick Boseman), As You Like It, The Stronger and The Lesson (with Tony Award winner, Daniel Sullivan), As You Like It, The Rivals, Candles to the Sun, Great
Expectations, Lush Life, Spring Storm (Urbana, IL).
