After starting at UIA Talent Agency as an intern during the pandemic, I was hired on full-time after my exemplary work on applying for the Shuttered Venue Operating Grant. I was recently promoted to Associate Talent Agent, where I work in the Theatre, Film/TV, and Literary departments. As a collaborative agency that doesn't draw verticals around clients, I've assisted with bookings for clients in shows such as Lion King, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, My Fair Lady, Camelot, New York, New York, Harmony, Law and Order: Organized Crime, The Gilded Age, Euphoria, Dr. Death, as well as commercials for Macy's, Chewy, Best Buy, and Anheuser Busch.
Upon graduating from college, I wanted to continue to create theatre, despite theatre as we know it being able to continue during the pandemic. I reached out to a friend of mine, and The Masked Collective was born! The Masked Collective is a virtual theatre company dedicated to producing new works during the pandemic. As one of the cofounders and the Artistic Director, I correspond with actors, playwrights, and directors, organize and view auditions, review play submissions, help coordinate live-streamed events, and decide what will ultimately be produced. You can connect with us on Facebook or Twitter at @themaskedcollective or visit our website here themaskedcocontact.wixsite.come/home
In May of 2020, I graduated cum laude from James Madison University with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, with a concentration in Theatre Studies and minors in Sociology and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. During my time there, I served on the School of Theatre and Dance's Season Selection Committee, and participated in clubs such as Stratford Players, Madison Equality, USITT, and Alpha Psi Omega. I worked on over 15 productions while there as a director, producer, dramaturg, devisor, and stage electrician.
In January of 2020, I went to the Region 2 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival at the University of Maryland- College Park. I was nominated for my Dramaturgy work on Vinegar Tom. Additionally, I received a Certificate of Completion in the ASPIRE Arts Leadership Program. I am excited to be learning more about arts management and what it takes to produce theatre! As a part of the program, we created and pitched our own theatre company (under given circumstances given to us by the program coordinators). This presentation can be found here.
In the summer of 2019, I served as the Casting Intern at Studio Theatre. I am learning more about the DC (and NYC) theatre community. I helped run auditions for their 2019-2020 season, organized and audited auditions, reviewed submissions, and scouted talent.
