My Fifth Broadway was about family.

And this family provided a life of support, insight, and clarity on the depths I would go for my family and career. I’m forever grateful to have been one of Mrs. Doubtfire’s Poppets.

I’m a Harlem Parent, Artist, and Educator.

I have always respected the challenging job of Swings and Understudies. This interview explores how artists in these positions can think expansively and practically.

Being a Swing is where I found the effectiveness of incremental improvements and repeating mistakes.

Creating new works on Tour

I immediately said yes when Jay McKenzie asked me to dance in his remake of the classic Maybe I’m Amazed. He made me feel amazing, and I believe the audience will feel caressed by his silky vocals that radiate his passion for music, dance, and visual impact.

The student became the teacher.

I met Stephen Brower as his teacher at Texas State University. His polished perspective on movement inspired me immensely. When he graduated, we both went back to NYC, and we evolved into friends. That led to him asking me to dance in his short film.

Looking back on this film, I now understand devotion in many ways as a parent. The significance of internal conflict is one that parents battle every day.

Sonnet Sundays

I booked the National tour of Beautiful, The Carole King Musical, just as I completed a two-year classical acting conservatory. As many actors tend to be, I was obsessed with all things Shakespeare.

So, on tour as a swing, Sonnet Sundays became my way to work out as an actor daily and find Life in text. Sonnet Sundays helped my process onstage and off by finding rhythm, circumstances, and relationships in every piece of text put before me.

Move On still Lives in me.

An actor's soul mission should be to find one piece that resonates with them so deeply that it becomes a defining representation of who they are as artists.

Bobby Cronin’s Move On Is that piece for me. There is no other song I’ve sung to represent the journey I've been on and continue to navigate. It represents me - rough around the edges but filled with an unapologetic tenacity.
