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 my first musical – more details to come soon!
