about me

I grew up in Pittsburgh and started piano lessons at seven. I hated them. My parents insisted I stick with it, and since I now make a living at the keyboard, I suppose I owe them this one.

​

I earned my BM in musical theatre at The Catholic University of America, where I discovered a love of music directing and realized all those years of piano lessons might actually come in handy. Since then, I’ve worked with theatres across the DMV, including Arena Stage, Ford’s Theatre, Signature Theatre, Olney Theatre Center, and Woolly Mammoth. A few of my favorite shows to conduct have been A Strange Loop, Ride the Cyclone, and Passing Strange. 

​

Outside the theatre, you can find me on keys and vocals with my pop/rock cover band, Scrumptious, playing venues around DC and Baltimore.

​

When I’m not making music, I’m probably hanging out with my husband, Sam, and our two dogs, Kira and Ginny, dreaming about my next trip to Greece, or drinking an iced espresso.
