ABOUT ME

Currently a student at DePaul University, I am beginning my fourth year studying the Comedic Arts with a minor in Animation. Throughout my time in Chicago I have developed a love for comedic production, having most recentlt worked as Executive Producer for MessFest (2026), a 4-day comedy festival at the Annoyance Theatre & Bar! My other works include a 3-year annual Haunted House immersive experience, 10 Minutes to Laugh (a short play showcase), and Saturday Morning: An Animated Sketch Show.

Currently, my focus is on BUTTERFACE, my two person ensemble sketch show with collaborator Brady Barrow. If you love terrible women, follow us on Instagram @butterface.show.

 My comedic stylings have been featured in theatres all around Chicago, such as the Annoyance, iO, Bughouse and my friends’ apartments during many-a pregame. I also worked in administrative assistance at Laugh Factory Chicago, with additional hands-on work with marque design and showcase production (Mother Me With Love).

In podcasts, I have appeared as the lead performance in Lemonada Media’s episodic radio play “Here Lies Me” and a panelist in The Longest Shortest Time’s bonus series “You Know What”, with a writing/voice feature in Pineapple Street Studios’ “The 11th”.
