About Me:
I have loved the arts from a very young age, and am very lucky that I have a family who have always supported my passion for the arts. Whether onstage performing, backstage creating or fixing costumes, or in a studio creating art, you will always find me filling my time with my passions!
It's my belief as performer that we should always be growing and learning new skills, always improving and cultivating our craft. As such, in my free time (which is very limited) I am always searching for new areas to learn from to self - educate myself so I can be bringing the most I can to any role or position! Sometimes it's researching the evolution of the corset - very valuable for period pieces, or teaching myself some ukulele or improving my piano playing - very valuable for modern concerts, shows and even auditions! Whatever I can possibly do to become the most well rounded performer I can be, I do it!
This past year, I was extremly lucky to be picked to be not only a Lead Vocalist on Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of The Seas, but also the Vocal Captain. I so enjoyed the month and a half I spent in Miami learning all the material, then the 9 and a half months onboard getting to do what I love everyday and being in charge of the Vocalists! I also was picked to be the Costume Supervisor, so my little sewer’s heart was so happy to work on maintaining the beautiful costumes we wore. It was the best, most challenging and rewarding experience I have had so far in my life, and I cannot wait to get back onboard.
Besides performing onstage, I have also added many production roles to the list of abilities I have. I have been an Assistant Stage Manager, a Composer, Costume Designer, Props Master, Set Painter, Box Office and Marketing Manager.
While at CCPA, one of the many amazing opportunities I had was to write a student blog on behalf of BroadwayWorld.com. I was very excited to have this opportunity to write on my personal experience as a theater student. As well as being featured on the BroadwayWorld Website, they were also heavily featured by my school, CCPA, on their website as well.It was such an amazing opportunity to have as a young person in the industry, and I am very happy many people seemed to enjoy my writings. Here are some examples of my writings for them:
