Biography
“I have been a part of every Anathan production since my freshman year, minus The Elephant Man. In every show, I have been able to grow closer with the cast members, and I have grown closer to people who have become some of my best friends. Each production has taught me so much. I consider it a pleasure and an honor to be part of the theatre program.”
