By day, I’m a strategy and people-focused leader with a passion for mission-driven work.
By night (and often weekends), I’m a performer, singer, comedian, and producer.
At the heart of everything I do is a love of storytelling and connection.
A bit more about me:
I was born in Germany to Midwestern parents and moved to the U.S. when I was five. I studied English and Theatre at Princeton University, where I developed a deep appreciation for storytelling. Later, I earned my MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, hoping to blend my creative background with a mission-driven approach to leadership and strategy.
Along the way, I’ve been lucky to train and perform with incredible communities like The Second City and The Annoyance, and I’ve loved singing at venues like The Vic Theatre, Chicago Symphony Center, and Park West. I’ve also had the chance to study voice, acting, and performance at places like Acting Studio Chicago, Vocal Power LLC, and Interlochen Arts Center.
