Biography
“I am a senior theatre major at Franciscan. In high-school I didn’t have a whole lot of experience with theatre or acting, but I knew it was something I wanted to pursue. When I came to Franciscan as a Freshman, I fell in love with the theatre and my passion for acting and drama has been there ever since. I am currently directing a one-act play here at the university that will be showing on the last weekend of April. I’ve loved all that the theatre department has had to offer and I hope to take the skills that I have learned here into a future career.”
