My name (Doll-in-chuck) comes from my family’s rich Ukrainian-Canadian heritage. I come from a loud and proud family of lawyers and administrators who prepped me well in public speaking. As a kid, my mom would take me to the Guthrie Theater to rush Shakespeare tickets - which began my childhood dream to become the first seven year old to play Hamlet.
Growing up, I moved every two or so years to various countries for my father’s job. I spent my teenage years living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Moscow, Russia before eventually settling in Minneapolis to finish out high school where I made my professional debut as Ilse in Spring Awakening at The Lab Theater. I also worked alongside organizations such as Minnesota Thespians and the Hennepin Theatre Trust.
I recently graduated from Oklahoma City University with my B.M in Musical Theater. While at OCU. OCU credits included Eve in Children of Eden, Olive in The 25th…Spelling Bee and the titular character of June in the world premiere of June by the Sea. Most recently, I performed with the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival as Little Red in Into the Woods.
Besides performing, I spend my time working as a personal stylist and wedding dress consultant (ask me about some of my wedding stories). I'm a big fan of Ru Paul's Drag Race, going to the movie theater and my beloved rescue cat, Theo.
