Actor, Singer & Director

Soon after the One Voice Course in 2019 – 20, I moved to Orlando, FL where I started working at Disney World, specifically at the Safari in Animal Kingdom. There I utilized my training to keep the voice in check as I continuously educated guests on various African animals. 

As the Florida journey continued, I also pursued commercial work. I signed with two agencies in the Southeast for commercials and film, then accomplished a lifelong dream of being lead talent in a Disney parks commercial. 

In 2023, I returned to theatre in a regional production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, was fortunate to play Saint Aphrodisius and understudied the lead, Quasimodo. Immediately after, I played Barry Mann in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and Joe Pesci in Jersey Boys. Then I began a commercial journey with the "other" theme park, Universal Orlando Resort, and worked as a production assistant/coordinator for a range of TV shows, commercials and films.

In 2026, I directed my first production, Tabula Rasa, a cabaret featuring new music theatre pieces mixed with classics The concept was around new beginnings, an artistic journey that taught me more about myself than I expected!

Also in 2026, I made my NYC debut in a 24-hour play festival. The team of actors, directors, and playwrights met at 6 PM on Thursday, and by 7:30 AM  on Wednesday, were in rehearsals for a performance at 7:30 that evening. And I have to say it went off without a hitch! We had three more performances and second to last, in the audience was Joan Melton! Words cannot express how much it meant to me that she was there.

The opportunities I've been blessed with the last five years have been nothing short of miraculous, and I CANNOT wait to see what the next five years bring!
