Director
I started with directing small scenes and musical numbers and found a passion for it. I was fortunate enough to do a studio production at my alma mater, Young Harris College, where I decided to pursue directing as a career. I went on to receive my Master's Degree where I continued to direct scenes, assist directors, shadow acting professors, and complete my thesis show.
