How did you first get interested in theatre?
It wasn’t really until middle school that I got interested in theatre. I’d done chorus all throughout middle school, and in my 7th grade year, we had the opportunity to put on The Lion King Jr. I’d literally never seen anything related to theatre in my life up until that point, but it was like something clicked in my mind that said “This is me. I want this.”

What kind of career do you hope to have?
I’d like to be in film and TV, but also perform in theatre productions when I’m not busy with those projects.

What is your favorite thing about the Department of Theatre?
Definitely the people that I’ve gotten to know in my time here. I love how everyone in the department genuinely seems to care about each other, through both the good and bad. 

Do you participate in any community activities or work in the Charlotte arts/design community?
I was elected as the treasurer for the Student Theatre at Robinson (STAR) club last semester!

When you are not in class, studying, or working, what do you like to do for fun?
I’m always looking on Backstage or Actor’s Access for possible roles I can fill. Even a background role can lead to something bigger, you never know.
