Stage Combat Class
Fall 2023. This combat class was another one of those falls courses to took to better round out my skills in all areas of theatre arts. I felt I excelled in this class and found a lot of job in participating in it. Part of what helped me in this class is from earning my black belt after 8 years of taekwondo. I never though that extra curricular I started when I was 12 would help me in my career later on in life
Stage Combat Final Fall '23
Beginning Tap Final
Beginning Tap Class
Fall 2023. This last fall is spent time to push myself out of my comfort zone. I took up several dance classes one of which included Tap. This was completely a new skill set to me and I struggled most of that class falling behind the other students. But I loved it, loved learning new skills and pushing myself to do things I haven't before giving me a better respect for dancing in theatre
Newsies, Ensemble performer
Music Theatre West, Directed by Linsey Kilstrom
2023. My first show acting in a musical ever! I think it was a great success. I pushed myself as an artist every day at rehearsals. The performances almost sold out every day and this experience was very informative to me for when I am learning my own musicals as an educator.

Utah State Theatre, Directed by Josh Streeter
2022. A collaborative original devised Theatre for the Very Young play. This play was a completely new experience for me. Devising with the cast and director was a fun and collaborative experience. Building this story for the students was very rewarding to see the audience enjoy the show and understand the story we told without speaking for the entire show
