I was born and grew up in Phoenix, and I left there when I was 17 to go to Interlochen Arts Academy - a boarding school in Michigan - for a year, and then I went to college for a year at The Boston Conservatory and landed the 'Spring Awakening' tour midway through my freshman year, which was pretty cool.
My hometown I grew up in in Michigan is really tiny, and they are so excited for all of my adventures my whole life.
I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Communications and left formal education behind.
Hockey is my favorite because I'm from Michigan. I used to figure-skate and root for the Red Wings.
I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. I lived in Grand Blanc, Michigan for a year and that's when I got involved in acting and took classes there. A manager who saw me at the agency I was at in Michigan wanted me to come out to L.A.

Everything I've done in my career has started in and around Detroit, you know, the metro area and Michigan.
