Passion for Theatre
“I’ve loved performing since I was little. Once I discovered theater, later in elementary school, I’ve always had a passion for it and strive to continue to build and grow as a performing artist so I can do it professionally and make a living out of something I love doing. Purdue Fort Wayne was my choice because of the opportunities I believe it can provide for me.”
