I am just a human who enjoys learning about life and subsequently telling the stories I learn of. To me, acting is a powerful tool with which I can be the voice of those who cannot express their own. Theatre allows different worlds to come alive, and getting lost in these fantastical representations of our world, from Shakespeare to musicals, is a true privilege that I have had. Being a part of SRT’s Young Company has allowed me to delve deeper into these stories, and further understand myself as an actor. The friendships I have made and the skills I have learned will forever be remembered, and I am truly thankful for having been a part of this adventure for the two years! When not acting, I am learning about genetics and playing classical guitar, while simultaneously trying to survive the IB.
