Since beginning acting at age five, Ada has appeared in over 25 musicals and plays, including in lead and featured roles in both regional and community productions like Matilda the Musical (Matilda), Mary Poppins (Jane Banks), and A Christmas Carol (Belinda Cratchit). She currently trains with Broadway actor Eddie Olmo II as well as at Walnut Street Theatre School and has previously taken classes at the Arden School of Drama and Professional Performance Prep. This has helped Ada develop into a versatile young actor, equally adept at portraying the sweet, innocent ingenue as she is at larger-than-life characters and villains with her sharp comedic timing, physicality, and bold personality.
As an award-winning vocalist, Ada performs pop, rock, and Broadway hits at events throughout the greater Philadelphia area. She has been asked to perform the national anthem for elite sporting events, including with Division I NCAA and NAHL teams. Other recent vocal accolades include earning the title of the local “Middle School Idol”, as well as both the “Star on the Rise” and “Best in Musical Theater” awards through the vocal performance program at Drop The Mic, Inc.
At ZZ Dance, Ada is a member of the Fusion Performance Team, a ZZ Ambassador, and an assistant mentor who helps support young dancers in the ZZ Stars program and students with special needs and abilities in the ZZ Jams program. Her commitment to excellence across the arts has earned her junior membership in the National Honor Society of Dance Arts as well as the International Thespian Honor Society, and selection into both the SJCDA All South Jersey Elementary and Junior High Honors Choirs.
Outside of performing, Ada serves on the Teen Advisory Board of the local library, is the president of both her school’s Student Council and Interact clubs, a black belt in Taekwondo, a proud big sister to six rescue dogs, an active volunteer passionate about serving the community, and an honor student consistently recognized for her academic achievement, character, and leadership.
