I am thrilled to be collaborating with ATB Talent Agency as I continue to pursue more theater work in NYC. A special thanks to my good friend Paige Sealey for her recommendation. Here's to many new opportunuties and possibilities. I'm ready to set the bar high! 

I am back with Dublin Worldwide Productions for some more high-kicking Christmas festive fun. I will be performing as a dancer in Santa's Christmas Wonderland at Harrah's Resort in Altantic City from December 7-10 and at the Tokyu Theatre Orb in Tokyo, Japan from Dec 16-25. It will be extra special to return to Japan since my first cruise ship contract traveled throughout the country in 2017-18.

Dublin Worldwide Productions is extending their run of Cabaret Le Cireque, and I was asked to come in as a replcament dancer! 

I ended up living my Christina Aguilera "Burlesque" dreams, being put into the show and then unexpectedly getting asked to cover the lead female vocalist for 10 shows. It was a fantasic challenge for me that allowed me to grow as a performer tremendously. I am so grateful to Jay and Lisa Lodge for this opportunity, and the many summer trips to Lake Tahoe were just the cherry on top!

I am thrilled to be preparing for my first cabaret performance in the city alongside fellow dancers who sing! Because I recently started studying acting more seriously, I chose to perform "Calm" from Ordinary Days to challenge my acting chops. Always on the quest to become that triple threat! A speical thank you to Viktoria Chiappa for organizing this opportunity.

One of the most prestigious sports clubs in New York City - Equinox Fitness - hired me on as a group fitness instructor for Athletic Conditioning classes! 

I will be working for Equinox in addition to the Orangetheory Fitness coaching that I know and love. I am looking forward to seeing where this new journey takes me. I can't wait to continue helping others be their fittest, strongest, happiest selves! 

Proper nutrition for performers and athletes is a topic I am extremely passionate about.   I decided to get my certification in Sports Nutrition to expand my knowledge and to be equipped to guide students, clients, and gym members as they navigate their eating and nutrition habits. I am looking forward to spreading the word on how to best fuel for the work required!  

After a quick and intense rehearsal process in Myrtle Beach, SC, my cast and I are off to Reno to perform in "Santa's Christmas Wonderland" at the Eldorado Casino in Reno, NV. I love the diversity of styles in this show, from classic "Rockette-style" kicklines and precision tap and jazz, to jive, to waltz, to a goofy elf shenanigan's in Toyland. It feels so incredible to be back on the stage doing what I love...and on land! I am looking forward to exploring Reno as well as Lake Tahoe on my time off. 

Side note: It will also be extremely special to spend my 30th birthday on stage still doing what I love to do...I am very grateful! 

Headed back to sea on the Norwegian Bliss to perform in "Happy Hour: Prohibition!". I will be playing the role of Mr. Mac, the androgynous club owner of an intimate speakeasy space, set the night before Prohibition. Working on this show will be a unique opportunity for me to dance, sing, act, and interact with the audience in an intimate theatre space. I am thrilled to be back to live performance after this long pandemic, and to making audiences laugh and escape the trauma they may have faced during this difficult time. 

After becoming familiar with the Orangetheory Fitness brand while living back in my hometown in Allentown, PA during the pandemic, and as group fitness started becoming less of a COVID health concern, I sought out the local OTF in Allentown with an interest in coaching.  I started out working the front desk as a membership advisor, which allowed me to become extremely aware of the business and sales peice as well as getting to take many classes and learn the format (treadmills, rowers, and weight floor) lingo (base, push, all out), and coaching requirements. 

Easton, Pennsylvania happened to be opening a new location nearby, so I went to coach training and next thing I knew I was asked to coach 11 weekly classes there! 

I love that OTF workouts are so inclusive of all age groups, methodical, science-backed, and progress-tracking. I love the strong community I have found there and I am thrilled to give people a fitness outlet and a community to turn to after a time period full of so much isolation.

*Note: since moving back to NYC in August 2022, I have been able to continue my coaching career with OTF in Tuckahoe, NY and now currently (as of Jan 2023) on the East Side locations in Manhattan. 

Double-masked and all, I am delighted to continue sharing the gift of dance with the next generation during this COVID pandemic both in-person and virtually over Zoom. I will be teaching Musical Theatre Jazz as a guest artist at the Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley/Pennsylvania Youth Ballet.  I will also be teaching regular jazz classes there throughout the '20-'21 season. This coming Fall/Spring, I will also serve as an adjunct professor of Jazz Dance at Cedar Crest College, and will be teaching Creative Movement, Lyrical/Contemporary, Jazz, and private lessons at Studio West Dance Centre in Allentown, PA. 

A huge silver lining of the pandemic, despite the temporary halt it's put on my progressing performing career, was this full circle moment/opportunity to give back to young dancers in the community where I trained growing up.  

As I was completing my Personal Trainer Certification studies through NASM, I was also working tirelessly to launch my own business--ShowBizFit!

ShowBizFit is primarily dedicated to cross-training for aspiring and current performing arts professionals, but open to people of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and stages of life! 

​

In early June, I began offering free Instagram Live Full Body Circuit classes twice per week and it was a great way to get some experience teaching group fitness! I really wanted to give other performers a way to maintain their strength and stamina for when the industry opens back up again while allowing them to "connect" virtually with other performers.

​

I am very excited about this new venture! 

While the performing industry is at a bit of a standstill due to the tragic COVID pandemic, I decided to further develop another love of mine--fitness! I feel very passionate about the importance of cross-training for performers, so I took a deeper dive and invested in a certification through the National Academy of Science. It was a challenging but rewarding process and I can't wait to help others with my new knowledge. Onward and upward!

Next up...Chicago at Virginia Repertory Theatre! I am so excited to work with choreographer Tyce Diorio and director Nathaniel Shaw this summer playing "Go to Hell Kitty" and understudying Jessica Lee Golden as Roxie Hart. Bring on the Fosse!

​

*Note: unfortunately this opportunity was postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but I am hoping it will be an opportunity in the future! Right now, public health and safety is the top priority!

Christmas is coming early this year! After spending two Christmases in a row on a cruise ship, I am so excited to be working as singer/dancer in the Charlie Brown Christmas Spectacular at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Catch me with Charlie, Snoopy, and the whole gang as we ring in the holiday season! A big thanks to Katie Proctor and RWS Entertainment Group for giving me this opportunity. 

After one day back home from my cruise ship contract, I'm hopping in the car and driving to Winchester, Virginia for my third consecutive season with Shenandoah Summer Music Theatre. I always enjoy spending my summers with this wonderful company!

​

I will be an ensemble member in Ragtime, Young Frankenstein, and The Sound of Music and will serve as the season's dance captain.

For the next six months, I will be sailing through the Mexican Riviera, Panama Canal, and Europe on the Norwegian Star where I will perform 4 shows (Vegas! the Show, Band on the Run, Paradis, and What the World Needs Now) as a singer-dancer. I'm excited to continue working for Norwegian Cruise Line and to check some more countries off of my bucket list! 

I am so excited to be returning as the season dance captain for Shenandoah Summer Music Theatre in Winchester, VA. This season includes Newsies, Mamma Mia, and West Side Story, so I will have my work cut out for me!

EXCITING NEWS! I was offered my first cruise ship job as a singer/dancer on the Norwegian Joy, which is set to rehearse in Tampa, FL and then travel throughout China and Japan until June 2018. I will be performing in two main productions on the ship, Elements and Paradis. Asia and dream job, here we come!
