I discovered my passion for theatre in high school and quickly fell in love with stage management and behind-the-scenes work. Earning the 2018 National Cappies Award for Stage Management in my sophomore year solidified my dedication. Since then, I’ve pursued the craft with a focus on organization, creativity, and leadership.

I earned my BFA in Design & Production with an emphasis in Stage & Production Management from Oklahoma City University in May 2024. There, I gained a strong foundation in technical theatre and the collaborative, detail-driven nature of production.

Since graduating in May 2024, I’ve worked on a variety of events across diverse venues. I served as a Stage Management Intern with Cirque du Soleil’s Mystère in Las Vegas, where I trained in two stage management tracks, handled company communications, and oversaw backstage operations during performances. Currently, I’m substitute teaching in the local school district while I continue applying for stage & event management positions!

I'm eager to travel the world and immerse myself in new cultures, and the cruise line industry offers a unique path to do just that. While my current focus is on cruise opportunities, I'm open to stage, event, or venue management roles wherever they may arise. Though I don’t plan to stay at sea forever—as I envision building a family and settling down one day—I’m fully able to embrace this adventure now, with no personal commitments holding me back.
