THEATRE
One of my old acting teachers used to give me this advice:
"If you want to be famous, do movies.
If you want to be rich, do T.V.
If you want to be good? Do theatre."
Since the 4th grade, live performance has continued to been the most formative and nourishing art form in my life. After developing somewhat of an obsession with acting, improvising, and movement, I decided to study it professionally. I'm a proud graduate of Seattle University with a Bachelors of the Arts in Theatre and Departmental Honors. 14 years in the making, here are some of the things that get me out of bed in the morning.
