I grew up in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, a place Stephen Colbert once referred to as the “Earth’s rectum.” Planetary poop talk aside, I like to point out to people that Windsor is the only part of Canada south of the contiguous United States and therefore more southern than most Michiganders think they are.
I started playing violin in first grade, which didn’t really work out at the time, but I’ve started taking lessons again as an adult. In fourth grade I started piano lessons which stuck a bit better, and I ended up attending Wayne State University in Detroit, MI where I earned a Bachelor of Music in Composition with a Minor in Theatre.
After moving to Chicago in 2017, I attended DePaul University where I was part of the first ever class to earn a Master of Fine Arts in Comedy Screenwriting, a first-of-its-kind collaboration between DePaul and The Second City. Because I yearn to always learn, I am currently studying for my Master of Science in Leadership for Creative Enterprises at Northwestern University.
I currently spend my days working as a university administrator, and in my spare time, I music direct theatre and improv productions around Chicago and play music with my incredibly talented husband, Logan Hart. I’m also working on some very cool projects with my grad school classmate, Valentina Lopez, so stay tuned!
