I’m Hope-

A Chicago-born, NYC-based actor, singer, model, and director. I moved all around Indiana growing up, so performing became my anchor. Whether I was belting out showtunes or my mom’s favorite ‘70s songs in the backseat or twirling down the aisles of the grocery store, storytelling was always my way of feeling at home. That passion eventually brought me to New York, where I graduated from Marymount Manhattan College in 2022 with a BFA in Acting, Directing, and Cinema, Television & Emerging Media (yes, all three—I like to keep busy).

Here’s what’s up

As an artist, I believe that performing is both a gift and a service—one that has the power to create deep, meaningful connections. No matter if I’m on stage or off, my goal is always to make people feel more seen, more understood, and more connected—to themselves, to others, and to the world around them.

I approach every project with heart, intention, and a sense of joy. To me, the performing arts are a form of healing, and I want my work to leave a positive impact—regardless of the medium. Art has shaped my life, and I’m committed to sharing it in ways that uplift, inspire, and remind people that they’re never alone.

Outside of the arts, I built a whole unexpected career in the bridal world, including a dream stint at Kleinfeld Bridal of Say Yes to the Dress fame. I’ve zipped up gowns, fluffed trains, and cried with loved ones and strangers alike—and I truly believe that every version of my work is about connection. Whether I’m with a bride, on stage, behind the camera, or in front of it, I’m all about making people feel something real.

Thanks for being here—I’m so glad our paths crossed!
