Born and raised in Traverse City, Michigan. Starting my Lighting journey through my local community theatre and public high school. Then, for my senior year in high school, I transferred to Interlochen Arts Academy to further my training. After graduating from high school in 2021, I started at Rutgers University at their art school as a Lighting Design major, where I spent two years. After those two years, I then transferred to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts to advance my studies in Lighting Design. I’m now finishing my third year at UNCSA and am looking forward to my future in school and beyond school.
