"Theater was the constant among my changing academic pursuits, from Psychology to Philosophy to Business. Under the guidance of many stellar Theater Studies faculty members I got to explore physical theater, improv, and dramaturgy. In a generously welcome student theater cohort I joined numerous inspiring projects at Ad Hoc and Dooley's Players. In my especially rewarding roles as an actor, director and stage manager, I got to see theatre in its full splendor, particularly mesmerizing because of the community at Emory. My Emory experience continued to motivate me through internships at Steppenwolf Theatre, Disney Theatrical Group, and now beyond."
