I grew up in Toledo, attending Blessed Sacrament for elementary school and Notre Dame Academy for high school. I then did my undergraduate studies at the University of Cincinnati College of Arts and Sciences, and went on to earn a doctorate in pharmacy (PharmD) from the University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy in 2006. I am a licensed pharmacist – with a flare for the dramatic!

In fifth grade, I was introduced to theater and was instantly drawn to it. I attended classes at CTW (The Children’s Theatre Workshop) for 8 years and participated in many productions – both on stage and behind the scenes. I also appeared in four musicals at NDA and two musicals at SFS during high school.
