about
I'm Lav (she/her)! I grew up right outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I'm a current member of the Penn State BFA Musical Theatre Class of 2025 and the Schreyer Honors College.
Penn State Centre Stage's Great Comet
The Penn State MT Class of 2025
In my free time, you can find me reading, crocheting, or playing with my puppy Kai. I also love to make music, and I am often in the midst of a new transcription or composition project. Additionally, as a proud South Asian artist, I am very passionate about finding new ways to integrate my cultural background into my art and bring all of myself to all I do!
So far, some of my favorite experiences at Penn State have been playing Natasha in Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812, being a member of Penn State Natya (an Indian classical dance team), and just getting to grow alongside my class and watch us all become our best selves!
I performed my Bharanatyam Arangetram in 2021
