All about me!
When looking back at my childhood (split between Cairo, Egypt and the South Jersey suburbs), most of my fondest memories involve the arts in some capacity. In typical only child fashion, my parents were subjected to what I like to call a "living room variety show" most evenings throughout my formative years.
Despite trying nearly every sport in the book, I ended up quitting them all immediately... with the exception of 2.5 years of little league Softball.
Performing and storytelling were the only things that truly stuck.
A Sagittarius to my core, I am unwavering in ambition - and stubbornness - when it comes to my passions. Acting, singing, teaching, writing, and traveling are my love languages (ask me about my recent six-country trip across Europe!). Currently, I'm finding SO much fulfillment each day teaching theater to high schoolers and directing them onstage + in life.
