I was born in Newport Beach, California and grew up down the road in Huntington Beach, yes, the heart of Orange County. What a gift! I went to Mater Dei High School and then on to USC and got my BA in Music and English Literature.
My first memory performing was as a Munchkin in the Wizard of Oz in 2nd Grade. How appropriate that in 2005 I had the thrill of making my Broadway debut in the ensemble of Wicked. Living in NYC and performing on Broadway was a dream come true for me. For the past 7 years I have traveled all over the country (and beyond) performing. In March 2007, I made the move back home to SoCal. I am currently living in Hollywood and performing nightly in the LA cast of Wicked at the Pantages Theater.
