Thank you all for the birthday love! The 20s were tough, honestly. When I turned 30 last year, I made a promise to pour into ME a bit more. After only Stage Managing for the past couple of years, I missed performing. This past year I took a leap of faith to dip my toes back in and I’m grateful for every opportunity:

🏆 First time award show host (WHAT?!) after being asked to be one of the
@carbonellawards hosts, expertly produced by
@andrew_r_kato ,
@eloisaferrer1982 and
@fantel_music . Also, the fact that the award show took place on an FAU stage, where I graduated from 10 years ago not sure if I would even make a DENT here in the theatre scene… to now be a host for the community 10 years later is not symbolically lost on me… 🥹

@zoeticstagemia production of “The Inheritance: Part One” directed by Stuart Meltzer at the
@arshtcenter . An experience that really solidified “community” for me and the importance of history and identity.

@newcityplayers to perform in an EMOTIONAL two-hander directed by
@timothymarkdavis , “A Case For The Existence of God” alongside the greatest scene partner I think I’ve had to date- and now, also a growing friend,
@ryan_a.d . A show reminding me that it’s okay to not be okay and that help is only an outstretched hand away. Friendship is healing power.

Including other survival jobs/ side quests: whether it was onstage, working on my latte art, wrangling puppies… or kids - I’m proud of year 30. I’m excited to see what adventures this new year of 31 will bring. ❤️ To 31! 🥳
Also, biceps 💪🏾
