Born and raised in New Jersey, I’ve wanted to entertain people for as long as I can remember. I may have been inspired one summer as a kid where I watched the live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on a loop almost every day - two films that spoke to the old-soul and performer that were beginning to bloom in me (total classics still..) My passion for performing arts was then nurtured as a musical theatre major at High Tech High School. As a recent graduate of NYU Tisch Drama, I had the opportunity to train in several studios: Atlantic Acting School, Experimental Theatre Wing, and Stonestreet Studios. I’ve also trained and performed at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, with The 24 Hour Plays at Theatre Row, the 52nd Street Project, Hoboken Children’s Theatre, and Mile Square Theatre.

The unique candor and natural storytellers I grew up around in a large Italian-American family has shaped the way I view the world. I enjoy telling stories across different mediums rooted in humor and authenticity, where opposites like joy and sorrow or boredom and aliveness meet each other concurrently. As an artist, I enjoy collaborating with others and making the most of our time here, especially in the bewildering moments we are finding ourselves in these days. Besides acting, I love writing and spending time with friends and family.
