Theatrical Director
Aug, 2013 - PresentArt For Humanity
In 2013, I started a small production company that specializes in creating live entertainment to fundraise for individuals, families, and non-profit organizations in need of monetary and community support. As the CEO of this artistic company, my work consists of directing, producing, marketing, and recruiting new talent. I stage concerts, music showcases, musicals, and plays. With these productions, I have worked with both child and adult performers and helped them fine tune their artistic talents. I know how to cultivate a setting where the artistically and musically inclined can reach their fullest potential, whether I'm directing them in rehearsals or coaching them privately.
Professional Jazz Vocalist
Oct, 2010 - Oct, 2012La Scala Jazz Lounge
I was the resident headline jazz singer at La Scala Lounge and Restaurant every weekend for two years. I performed Norah Jones, Billie Holiday, and everything in between. My passion was crooning ballads from the 40's and getting the patrons excited with upbeat Frank Sinatra numbers.
Troupe Member
May, 2010 - PresentBig Time Productions
At 16, I landed my first professional acting gig with the theater company Big Time Productions in Western, NY. I have continued to perform with them and other companies for several years. As an actor, some of the most prominent roles I have portrayed include Joanne Galloway (A Few Good Men), Van's Sister (Dog Sees God), and Judy (Rebel Without a Cause). As a singer, some of the musicals I have taken part in with both ensemble and lead roles include "Cinderella", "The Who's Tommy", "The Great American Trailer Park Musical", "Willy Wonka", and "Pirates of Penzance". Additionally, I have performed in concerts and live radio shows for years for a variety of fundraisers.
