Little known fact?
In real life, as opposed to onstage, I am exceptionally clumsy and awkward. In 7th grade I tripped over my own feet during tennis team practice and broke both of my arms at the same time. Super sexy. I know.

100% INFJ.
Cats or Dogs?
Both. I love fur-babies of all shapes and sizes.

The University of Michigan for Musical Theatre. Go Blue!!!
When did you start performing?
When I was two I ran onstage in front of an auditorium full of college students and sang my ABC's. Does that count?
Favorite food?
Ahhh! Food is my forever JAM. I love eating delicious dishes from all over the world. When I was four my dad asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I said, "Spaghetti and soup." Still probably true - especially if it's both combined. #ramen
Favorite book?
Too many to name. As a kid it was definitely The Last of the Really Great Wangdoodles. I recently finished N.K. Jemison's The Inheritance Trilogy and V.E. Schwab's Shades of Magic trilogy. Loved every second of them.
Favorite childhood movie?
Two documentaries: The Children of Theatre Street - The Story of the Kirov Ballet School and Be A Clown. Seriously. I watched them almost every day for years.
A truth?
I'm a paradox. A poem in motion. I'm also Kanoa, the freed one.
