Birthday: June 4th
Favorite Color: Green
Your role at MCCA: I am an Acting and Voice instructor, but I also manage the front desk.
What classes do you teach: I teach Musical Theatre, Advanced Musical Theatre, and Voice lessons. I also sometimes provide acting and audition technique lessons.
Who would play you in a movie and why?: I’m super torn on this! Right now I’m thinking of either Harry Styles or Dylan O’Brien. Both could easily catch my seriousness and goofiness that I bring to the world, but what I think makes them unique to me is that they would be open to play the sides that I don’t show many people. The sides that make me whole.
Name a song that describes your teaching style: No Reason From BeetleJuice (A tad adult)
