Compared to many of my peers, I came to acting relatively late. I performed throughout high school and somehow managed to make theatre my entire personality, yet I still wasn't sure I wanted to dedicate my life to it. (Dramatic, I know.) 

          If I hadn't pursued musical theatre, I would have studied journalism. I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to change people's minds. I thought journalism was the clearest path to doing that, whereas a career in the arts was useless in comparison. But after committing to Hartt and discovering that acting was more about human connection than anything else, I realized that art is one of the most powerful forces for change we have.​

          Stories shape the way we see ourselves and our own potential. Legally Blonde inspires people to become lawyers. Grey's Anatomy inspires future doctors. Hair continues to inspire protest and social action decades after it premiered. Great art asks questions, challenges assumptions, and cultivates empathy. In many ways, it's my version of journalism.​

          This is what excites me the most as a performer: the opportunity to tell stories that make people leave the theatre seeing the world a little differently.​
