Summary
I am a classically trained theatre artist with a passion for bringing stories to life, both as an actor and director. Recently graduating from Hillsdale College with comprehensive training in various performance techniques, I’ve discovered my greatest joy comes from collaborating with other artists to create meaningful experiences for audiences. My journey towards a theatre career has been diverse—from performing lead roles to running light boards, from stage managing complex productions to directing my own show. During my senior year, I completed an intensive directing course that culminated in leading a cast of thirteen in a one-act festival, an experience that cemented my love for both sides of the stage. I’m also developing as a playwright, with a completed one-act draft and several works-in-progress that I hope to refine as I build my career. What excites me most about theatre is its power to explore the depths of human experience, something I’ve studied not just through performance but through my additional studies in psychology, mysticism, and history. I bring a creative spirit, strong work ethic, and genuine enthusiasm to every project I join.
