A Bit About Me
My passion for the arts ignited in childhood, where I would stand on a stool, reciting poetry or belting out my favorite songs. At eight I started playing the piano and was so passionate that when my sister was ill, I would delight in knowing I could have an extra long lesson. My journey took a significant turn when I joined the Stephenville Theatre Festival, where I embraced every opportunity as an actor, singer, pianist, and music director.
In 2010, I moved to St. John's to pursue a music degree, and since then, this vibrant city has become my home. I've explored various roles, from classical vocal coaching to serving as an organist and church choir director, and even as a piano teacher. After over 15 years in the industry, I have discovered my true passions: musical theatre, performing, and songwriting. I invite you to join me on this exciting journey as I share my love for music and the transformative power of storytelling through performance.
