Growing up I always had a passion for theater and musical theater. So, I’ve done acting for as long as I could since 7th grade. When I’m not doing theater and not being a full time college student, I like to sit down and write. Writing for me is a release of emotion and even if the words don’t make sense there is always meaning. Other than that, I like to play first person shooter games and a handful of Nintendo games like Mario and Animal Crossing. 

I would like to shout out to my brother. Without him, I don’t think I would be the same person today doing what I love. If it wasn’t due to a trip up in his production of Anything Goes, I wouldn’t have been able to spark this passion. So, thank you Jason. I love you.
