A native of Michigan, I was born in Battle Creek and attended Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids where I obtained a Bachelors of Science in Advertising and Public Relations and a Masters of Science in Communication. I've lived in Grand Rapids for most of my adult life where I've worked in broadcasting as an on-air spokesperson, a morning radio host, online media marketing, and higher education. But my heart has always been in performing and nothing truly makes me happier. Since college, I've appeared in local and national commercials, several independent films, and local theatre productions. I'm excited to move on to pursue and fine tune my craft full time this summer and eager for more opportunities in the film and television industry. Fun facts: I'm a devoted cat mom. I've never traveled outside of the country. I can quote every episode of 'Friends' (No really, it's scary). Any sort of bug, reptile or insect scares the hell out of me. I could eat cheese and wine for every meal and never get tired of it. I'm pretty competitive in nature.
