Born and raised in downtown Manhattan, I first stepped into the spotlight at age six (...going on seventeen) as Liesl in The Sound of Music, and I’ve never looked back. 

I come from an eclectic group of performers and creatives. My grandmother is an Argentinian-American concert pianist. My grandfather was a German violinist. Together they toured the world, playing concerts from Brazil to India to China. My mother is a reformed theater kid and dancer turned journalist and my father is a journalist and author. I grew up believing the world truly was a stage, a place to express yourself and to inform, entertain, move, and maybe even inspire others. From an early age, I’ve always enjoyed acting, singing, and dancing. This convergence of communication through verbal language, music, and physical forms exposed me to the power of theatrical storytelling. I also like to use my voice to make people laugh by writing satirical pieces and performing standup and sketch comedy.

As a teenager, I studied Vocal Music at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts, and spent my weekends rehearsing for productions at the Applause New York theater group. At LaGuardia, I expanded my singing repertoire from just musical theater to Italian, German, French, and operatic styles. I was awarded the Alan & Alice Sklar Music Award for Outstanding Music Student (2021). At Applause, I performed in two musicals every school year. I was also a soloist at Feinstein’s 54 Below for “Applause New York Takes 54!”. During the summer, I attended French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts, where I took dance classes, performed in the improvisation and cabaret groups, and did multiple full-scale productions each summer. Playing Beth in Merrily We Roll Along for my final performance after eight summers was a highlight. I also had the honor of singing in the Side by Side concert with the New York Pops orchestra in an annual collaboration the group does with the camp.

I recently earned my B.A. in Dramatic Arts at Kenyon College, where I studied dramatic structure, text analysis, lighting, set, sound, and prop design, and starred in and helped to produce my senior thesis, Scab. Now I'm thrilled to be back in New York City—the place where my love of theater took root—to begin my professional theater career.

I’ve never loved anything the way I love theater, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. My goal is simple: to keep creating, collaborating, and connecting. Onstage, on the page, and everywhere in between.
