Currently pursuing a BFA in Lighting Design at UNCSA (class of ‘29), I’m passionate about my endeavors always striving for improvement and perfection. In high school I was a National Honor Society member in the Technical Theater pathway at EASTCONN’s Arts at the Capitol Theater (ACT) Performing Arts Magnet High School where I threw myself into every opportunity. For main-stage productions more recently, I’ve was entrusted with roles usually handled by teachers such as Head Lighting Designer and Technical Director. Also skilled in the scene shop with all major tools, I can design, order materials, and build a set nearly autonomously. I’m accumulating the experience and show credits of an early-career professional yet I still hunger for more.

Often described as a renaissance man, I’m well rounded from additional pursuits. I am a baritone vocalist having been a member of my high school’s Acapella Choir and the auditioned Select Choir under the direction of Katherine Popovic. I was also a member of the auditioned UCONN Joy! Conservatory Program which in addition to recital opportunities also funded a portion of my private voice lessons with Carolyn Fisher. Additionally, I participated in the Eastern Connecticut State University's Concert Chorale and was also the first-ever high schooler to join their auditioned Chamber Choir, both under the direction of Dr. David Belles.

Part of my drive comes from having a farm-tough work ethic. Outside of school, I’m a well-developed equestrian in the English equitation and hunter disciplines, having competed both individually and as a high-school team member in IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association). I’ve shown in national-level competitions and have won multiple large classes at state finals. With this has come deep love, respect, and horsemanship with those partners. I’m employed on the weekends at an equestrian center with duties ranging from horse care to substantial facilities maintenance. I pride myself in ring footing knowledge and grooming, and being onboard a tractor is another happy place for me. I’ve also taken a deep interest in course design and utilize a specialized leading professional software program.
