The Interview

 

What are you doing currently ?

Attending Florida State University and double majoring in theatre and communications.

What was your favorite "StarStruck Moment" ?

O there are sooooo many moments! If I had to choose 1 though…that would be….getting dropped 7 feet during the opening night of SWEENEY TODD. James was supposed to pick me up and throw me into a trunk but with our adrenaline pumping, I somehow managed to go through the bottom of the trunk and land on the stage instead. Luckily I escaped the hundreds of nails underneath the trunk and am here to tell the tale!!

What did StarStruck mean to you ?

StarStruck was literally my second home for the past 6 years of my life. I learned so much here both in theatre and with people. Through many, many dance, acting, and musical theatre classes I grew as a performer; and as a cast member I was able to learn to be a team player, feed off of others on stage, help in a multiude of situations backstage and gain a wide range of knowledge in theatre which is my passion.

What are your plans for the future ?

Hope to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, either in television / film or to be a news anchor / entertainment reporter.

What has been the biggest change since graduation?

I graduated so recently I don’t really know what my biggest change would be but I had an amazing time playing Mrs. Walker in TOMMY this past summer and I can’t wait to see what my future holds!

What is your favorite personal quote ?

“When you’ve got it, flaunt it ;)”
