Class of 2025
Majors in Theater Studies and Public Policy; Minor in Spanish

I'm a senior from Thousand Oaks, CA studying theater and public policy. I'm passionate about service and the arts, and I hope to become a performer and producer. I am a Spanish minor, and I've furthered my study of the language through DukeEngage Paraguay and Duke in Madrid. At Duke, I'm involved with Me Too Monologues, Hoof ā€˜nā€™ Horn, Duke Players and Speak of the Devil. I am the recipient of the Brodhead Service Fellowship, the Forlines Family Theater Studies Grant, and the Leadership and Arts Policy (LAPI) Fellowship. In my free time, I enjoy being in nature and singing quite loudly, and I often do both at the same time.

Favorite Class: THEATST 350: Mainstage Acting, because I got to be in RENT with my best friends!
