Being a theatre kid since the 7th grade, storytelling has been a bright light in my life for many years. Now, as a senior at JMU, I have taken my love for storytelling into my studies as a double major in Creative Advertising and Theatre! I believe being both a theatre artist and creative advertiser is my superpower — these paths run side by side and often intersect. Being a part of both fields has made me an expert collaborator, creative problem solver, and a fierce storyteller.

My artist perspective: Growing up in a biracial/cultural/religious household, I have always gravitated towards creating work that celebrates authentic identity and encourages inclusion. I hope that my work as a performer, advertiser, and creator leads with and promotes diversity, empathy, and joy.
