Bio
Over the last 20 years, I earned degrees in Russian Language, History, and Mediation before pursuing a career in the non-profit sector and higher education, including working at a leading U.S. medical school and a leading UK-based business school. In Fall 2024, I followed my heart back to my first loves, singing and acting, and began creating a new career on stage—building on my early start singing publicly at age 11 and growing up in musical theatre in America. For the past five years, I've been based in London.
