What do you like to do in your free time? I enjoy reading, especially anything in the fantasy genre. I also very much enjoy hiking and pretty much any outdoor activity when the weather is nice.

What is your proudest accomplishment to date? Performing in my first musical in high school has been a highlight of my life. My sophomore year, we did The Little Mermaid, which was my favorite princess as a child, and it was my first time doing theater since I was young. It was just so fun and something I remember very fondly. 

Post-grad plans: I plan on moving back home to New Jersey. I’ve been thinking about going back to school to get certified to teach in the high school grade levels, most likely specializing in English and potentially Theater. I may additionally keep auditioning for acting jobs and seeing if anything works out.
