An experienced singer, her performances have garnered her many accolades including The Broadway Star Award at Access Broadway Nationals in 2019.

Most recently, she has begun her biggest journey yet as a podcast host for her original show, "Help Me, I’m Trying!". The goal of the podcast is to help those transitioning from college to adulthood by discussing topics such as personal finances, choosing a career, mental health, and so much more!

When she is not performing, you can usually find her spending time with her miniature golden doodle, Hazel, and traveling the world from adventure to adventure. Haley is also a licensed diver and loves diving in the beautiful Florida ocean.
