Career goals: I hope to work in television, film, and/or theater production as a producer, manager, and lawyer. This upcoming year, I will be teaching high school English and coaching wrestling in Paola, Kansas. I'm super excited to utilize the knowledge I've accumulated from my studies at Duke to encourage and advocate for the arts in secondary education.
I'd like to thank all my peers and professors for enlightening me about the impact theater can make on the lives of all people. A special thanks to the Duke in New York program for an incredible experience and enabling me to attend some incredible Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. Also, the biggest thank you to my wonderful parents. Thank you for always supporting me in every one of my endeavors. Go Blue Devils!
