“The Robe is magical! It symbolizes the commitment ensemble members have made to be the backbone of Broadway. To be included in something so deeply rooted in tradition and legacy is the highest honor. And, although it is awarded to one person per show, it represents all of us.”

How I Got My Equity Card: “When I lived in California, I went (as a non-union member) to the ECC for Wicked in LA. Six months later I received a call that I got the job on Broadway and they would need me to start days later. I packed a suitcase, got on a plane, and never looked back! That's how I got my Equity card!”
Broadway Chorus Credits: I am currently in my 7th Broadway show.
Fun Fact: “I met the love of my life and am now a new mom! Our baby girl is almost 6 months old, and she is already a dual citizen of USA and Denmark!”
