GRADUATION FINALE!
Tuesday was absolutely magical. I have so much to say and yet, I can’t seem to find words that can truly encompass what this journey has been like. I’m so incredibly grateful to every single person who made this experience what it was. To my friends and family, thank you guys. I love you to absolute pieces and I couldn’t have done it without you. As this chapter comes to a close, I take all of the lessons I learned with me to my next one. Well, that’s all I got for now. Hooty Hoo! (PS: swipe to the last slide to see how I felt all day)

I am BEYOND excited to announce that on Tuesday, May 7th, I will be graduating Summa Cum Laude from Kennesaw State University with a major in Theatre and Performance Studies, concentration in Acting, and a minor in Dance!
I cannot begin to put into words how transformative these past 4 years have been. I’ve met some of the most amazing people and had some of the most fulfilling experiences. There are many more pictures to come over the next couple of days, so be prepared.

PRIDE & PREJUDICE
So, I’m a little late to the train, but I had the absolute honor of being part of this beautiful show over the course of this semester. Although I’ve been fortunate enough to have had many beautiful show experiences throughout my time at KSU, I couldn’t have been more grateful for this show to have been my last.
To my cast, thank you. Each and every one of you are so beyond talented and I’m so lucky to have shared the stage with you. You guys made rehearsal one of my favorite parts of my day consistently throughout the process and I thank you for that. You guys will always have a special place in my heart.
To the crew, you guys are our life savers. Thank you to those who helped me with my quick changes, made sure I had the right item of clothing on, or found me props when I couldn’t. We truly couldn’t do this without you guys.
To our assistant director, Alanna, and our wonderful SM’s, Chloe and MJ, you guys are a killer team and I thank you so much for your patience and grace with us as a whole.
To our director, Marlon, thank you. Thank you for creating one of my favorite theatre spaces I’ve ever been part of. Thank you for trusting me as an actor while simultaneously pushing me to be better. Thank you for creating a room that was focused, yet so incredibly fun. Thank you for bringing your best self, each and every day. Thank you.
To Jane: my sweet, soft-hearted, romantic, I love you. It was a process to find you within myself, but once I did, I felt a love and protection over you that I will never forget. You’re the purest parts of myself. You have a ferocity for those you love that is admirable and it was an honor to bring you to life.
JUKEBOX GIANTS 2023!!! My first professional show. Wow. It’s taken me a minute to make this post. Mostly, because I’ve been trying to sit with everything this experience was, and always will be, to me. Being part of this show taught me so much about who I am as a performer and all the things I’m capable of and for that, I am eternally grateful. This show would’ve been nothing without the beautiful cast, directors, and choreographers I got to know throughout this process. Every single person brought something so beautiful to the show and I’m beyond grateful I got to work with you all. I also want to shoutout every single friend and family member that not only came to support me at the shows, but provided their words of encouragement and love throughout the process. I would be nowhere without you guys. To many more projects! ❤️
