Who I Am

I fell in love with the magic of theater at age seven. 

While acting, I could lose myself in a story; commit to a new life; anything could happen! I could be someone completely new. I could sing, dance, and believe without fear. Now, I have fallen in love with the endless possibilities that can exist on a stage. I can even create new worlds. 

I see myself as an actor. Someone who can play a role; breathe life into a character. But, I see much more: a writer, a director. I see someone who can transform the stories in my mind to the stage for all to see. I have discovered a deep love of forging stories through play and experiment. 

Some stories need to be told in this world. It is the artist’s place to tell those stories. I feel the responsibility to illuminate stories that otherwise would go untold. Storytelling is the core of acting. And, that is why I consider myself first and foremost, a storyteller. 

Theater does not just happen to me; it is something I can control, design, and shape.
