Who is Hallie?
Hey there! My name is Hallie (she/her), and I’m a multi-hyphenate creative living in NYC. In May 2022, I graduated from The Hartt School in Hartford, Connecticut, with a Summa Cum Laude BFA in Actor Training. Soon after, I moved to New York City, where I continued my passion for theater.
As a writer, director, filmmaker, actor, and aspiring casting director and/or agent, I’ve had the privilege of exploring various aspects of the entertainment industry through collaborative projects, both my own and friends. I’ve always been very interested in advocating for artists and creatives, along with creating opportunities for myself and my friends, which I continue to do in NYC.
My friends often describe me as the girl who loves funky earrings and colorful clothing…but also as the person who grew up with two parrots as pets.
For 2025, I have two main New Years Resolutions. 1) to learn how to use a sewing machine to create more upcycled projects and 2) to regain my semi-fluency in American Sign Language. In High School, I took ASL classes at Gallaudet University. I would love to become a Sign Language interpreter. I am committed to continue my studies at the Sign Language Center in NYC in this new year!
