Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, I was drawn to the world of theater and music from a young age. When it came time to leave home: my love of electronic dance music, comedy, and the Chicago Cubs brought me to the Theatre School at DePaul University where I studied sound design.

 

While there, I had a chance encounter with a director that led me to a rewarding career in storefront theaters. Over the next several years I worked throughout the city and I discovered a passion for community-engaged theater and new work.

 

Over the past decade, I have had the opportunity to work as a sound designer, audio engineer, and sound supervisor on a variety of productions across the country. I have also been able to share my love of sound design as a mentor and educator at the University of Chicago and the National Theatermakers Institute.

Currently, I am pursuing my MFA in Sound Design at the Yale School of Drama, and I am looking forward to graduating in May 2025. I can't wait to apply my skills and knowledge to create innovative and sustainable work that makes a positive impact on the world and my community.
