About

I am an Indian-American performer, who focuses in musical theatre and film. I love productions that seek authenticity in the stories they tell while also maintaining a sense of comedy, performance, and enjoyment. I'm a big fan of those early 2000s rom-coms, and an over-the-top musical.

Some fun facts about me:

1. Legally Blonde is my favorite media. Yes, that is movie and musical. Emmett Forest is my tip-top dream role.

2. I studied in India for a year! Before this, I was fluent in one language and that was English. It was a hard year.

3. I have been in two musicals twice: Into the Woods, and The Little Mermaid Jr. I was the same role both times in ITW.

Giving you a break from me to show you my dog. He's a Siberian Husky, who was born in 2015.
