I was born and raised in Texas where I fancied myself an artist of the visual persuasion. However, after a brilliant 6th grade production of "Murder Most Foul" in which I played Daisy-May Pruett, and for which I designed the company t-shirts, a life in the performing arts was established. I quickly realized that theatre is an excellent source of drama and I have cherished the performative creative space ever since. This was also the fateful year I discovered my propensity for stage and special effects makeup. So thank you, Ms. Burnside, you really set me up. After high school, I packed it all up and headed North to NYC to pursue my career and earned a BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. I currently reside in Brooklyn and am part of the 'brooklyn soundpainting company' (BSC for short) headed by Tomi Tsunoda.
