Before transitioning to film, her musical theater career consisted of performing in the premiere Grand Ole Opry cast of How the Grinch Stole Christmas the Musical as Punky/Reno, regional equity houses around the country, and performing on Disney Cruise lines as the female swing! Highlight of her musical theater career was touring with the National Tour of A Chorus Line, working with Baayork Lee, performing the roles of Cassie and Val.
Since transitioning into film, she has had the pleasure of doing many nominated and festival-award winning indie films.

Also passionate about fitness and injury-prevention, she completed her comprehensive pilates certification in New York City, later becoming an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, bodyART instructor, and Melt Method body worker.
