Upon graduating as high school valedictorian, she attended the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, and Carl H.

At CCM she performed as a soloist in Dierdre Carberry's Don Quixote, as well as Medora in Carberry's Le Jardin Animé. She was cast to perform in Qi Jiang's Rite of Spring as well as Russian Girl in George Balanchine's Serenade for the spring of 2020.

In 2021 she became an apprentice with Indianapolis Ballet, and shortly after was promoted to the main company.  At IB she has performed in George Balanchine’s Rubies, Allegro Brillante, Four Temperaments, and was featured as Russian Corps in Serenade. Some of her other roles of note include Tea Soloist, Waltz Demi Soloist, and Columbine Doll, in The Nutcracker, Four Cygnets in Swan Lake, and Little Red Riding Hood in The Sleeping Beauty. She has performed in numerous classical and neoclassical ballets and is excited to continue growing in Indianapolis this season.
