As an artist, my mission is to ensure that everyone feels like they belong in a society that can often show us otherwise. Growing up queer and neurodivergent, I am passionate about making sure marginalized voices are heard and that every single person who walks into any room feels loved and supported. Musical Theatre and the arts are what fill me with joy, give me a voice, and boost my confidence. Therefore, I feel it is my duty as an artist to return the favor. I strive to be the person younger me would have dreamed of being when I grew up. Especially as a teacher and mentor for younger artists, I live to encourage a space where others can express themselves freely, just as my past mentors inspired me to do the same.
