I was casted in all four of my all-school plays at Bridgeport High School in Bridgeport, WV, as well as the senior play. In addition to theater, I have also danced alongside the Alchemy Project since the age of thirteen, have taken dance class from the Artistic Director Angela Dennis, and contemplated auditioning for the company in the past. I plan to audition for the Alchemy and possibly the Performer's Guild of Morgantown in the future after my undergrad if I still reside in WV, and would love to work alongside the company in the near future. Many of the upcoming events are also within the vicinity of my hometown of Bridgeport, WV, which makes me very comfortable of possibly having to travel to surrounding areas for events. I also appreciate the supervisor, Vickie Tricketts, expressed flexibility as I am on the WVU Dance Team and have a fairly busy schedule during the Spring and WVU Basketball Season.
