Portia began dancing at the age of four, singing at 9, and acting at 10. The first Broadway show she ever saw was for her 10th birthday, Annie, who shares a birthday with Portia (10/28). After seeing the show, Portia knew she wanted to act full time. She began homeschooling two weeks later and has been acting ever since. She booked a national Microsoft commercial in 2017, and has landed several musical theatre roles, such as Baby June in Gypsy (twice), Mary Beth in A Christmas Story (twice), Debbie in Billy Elliot, Pepper in Annie, and Schprintze in Fiddler on the Roof. Portia is a member of AEA. Her true love is for California where she will live one day.
