Hayley was born and raised in the microscopic seaport town of Port Jefferson, New York on Long Island. She was brought into this world by two music teacher parents (Dad is a band teacher, Mom is a chorus teacher) and because of this she has been surrounded by music and the arts her entire life. For this she will be forever grateful. Although Hayley at the age of 4 thought she would become a "blood doctor", and at age 13 she thought she would be a point guard in the WNBA (she stopped growing at the height of 5'3 that year), she somehow found her way into the world of theatre and has never left. 

Hayley went on to attend Emerson College in Boston and receive her BFA in Musical Theatre (Class of '15). Hayley currently resides in New York City where she can be found most days being a nonjudgmental vegetarian, a lover of all things Disney, and feeling generally uncomfortable toward writing 'About Me' pages.
