Welcome to my website! A little bit about me… I am a classically trained soprano with a mix/belt with a passion for classical theater. I grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in a Russian-speaking home with my sister and parents and an assortment of pets. I moved to Doha, Qatar with my family when I was twelve years old, where we lived for four years! When I was sixteen, we moved back to NYC where I began studying musical theater with Marc Tuminelli and the Broadway Workshop. I got my B.A. in Theater and Neuroscience at Oberlin College and Conservatory and I also got the opportunity to train in Opera Performance at the Conservatory. In my Junior year of college, I went to Russia to study acting at the Moscow Art Theater School, where Anton Chekhov and Konstantin Stanislavski created naturalism over 120 years ago! I started working professionally in Cleveland when I was twenty-one, and I’m now based back in New York City!
I made my off-broadway debut as PAM in the long running musical The Office! A Musical Parody at The Theater Center, and worked on the industry workshop of Teeth by Michael R. Jackson & Anna K. Jacobs, directed by Sarah Benson, presented by Playwrights Horizons. Most recently, I was in the ensemble/band in an impressive modernized adaptation of The Threepenny Opera directed by the phenomenal Benjamin Viertel, who assistant directed next to Tina Landau in the Tony nominated revival of Floyd Collins. COMING UP:I am performing my one woman cabaret HOW TO BE YOURSELF at Green Room 42 on July 29th at 7pm! See you there ;)
When I am not singing or acting, you can catch me playing soccer, reading fantasy or playing with my sister’s new puppy!
