Heather (she/her) was born and raised in Mid-Michigan. She graduated from Point Park University with a BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in Music. She believes that theatre is a way to teach empathy and compassion.  

Her first experience on stage was when she was in second grade. She was in the children's chorus of “Seussical the Musical''. Heather was obsessed with Gertrude McFuzz and spent months singing “Notice Me Horton'' with a feather boa tied to her jeans. You could say she was hooked.  

In addition to performing in musicals, she grew up playing violin and swimming competitively. Heather loves to be creative. She sews her own clothes, crochets, and loves to relax with a paint by number. Often you can find her baking up a storm in her kitchen, where she has finally (after many attempts) perfected the French macaron and her friends' favorite... the *Churro Cookie*
