WHO AM I?
I’m an actor/singer local to the DMV area. I was raised a little west of D.C. in Front Royal, Virginia.
My love for performing blossomed when I was young. I remember making up my own songs while playing games on the family computer as early as age 7. Like everyone, I did the school musical in 5th grade, and it changed the trajectory of my life (my peers may not have felt this way). From then on I filled my time with theater, choir, an a cappella group – anything that involved performance, especially singing. From there, my passion for theater only grew, leading me to to pursue B.F.A. in Musical Theater.
Expressing myself through performance has been a fundamental part of discovering who I am – a little silly and a little sentimental. I am always grateful theatre is a part of my life, because I would not be the same person without it. And I love the me that it made.
In my free time, I’m searching for a good coffee or matcha, cooking, going on a nice nature walk, seeing theatre, and singing in my car.
HOW DO YOU SAY MY NAME?
Gill: the G is a soft G, like Giant, George, Gesture. My name is actually spelled the British way – several British people have told me this.
Rydholm: Just say it like you’re asking me to give you a Ride Home!
