I got my start in the arts at a young age through theater performance camps and Irish dancing. In high school, I found a connection to design through working on the costume team. By the time I was a junior, I was designing shows myself.​​ During my the fall semester of my first year of college at University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, I stumbled across a new passion...puppetry! To be able to bring an inanimate thing to life and connect with audience members felt like a dream. With this newfound spirit, I have designed and constructed over 15 puppets with no end in sight!​ My love of storytelling and connecting with the audience has allowed be to explore many other areas such as props design and dramaturgy. I also devote a lot of my journey to my curiosity. This mindset has led me to explore creative possibilities that were previously underrepresented.
