Hello!!  Thank you for your interest in supporting me and visiting my fund raising page.  Like many in this world, I have a love for the arts.  But unlike many, I have always known that my passion for performing arts is my true life calling.

A bit about me: I graduated with honors from the University of Colorado Denver in December 2015 with a degree in Vocal Performance and a Theater minor.  I work as a performer and professional dancer in Denver, CO.  I absolutly love to perform!  When I was just 2 years old my mother captured a video of me singing along to the Little Mermaid and hitting the notes exactly, she was quite impressed.  Then at age 5 I saw my first musical, Cats on VHS; I fell head over heels in love.  From that moment I knew musical theater is where I need to be.  Now that I have earned my Bachelors I am pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Musical Theater Performance, but as with many graduate programs, I need to have extensive professional expericence under my belt first, which is why I am graciously asking for your help!  I have recently been given an amazing oportunity to travel to London, England and particiapte in the West End Musical Theater Intensive Program.  This program will open countless doors and help to better prepare me for a professional career as a musical theater performer.  I will work hand-in-hand with industry professionals who are memebers of the West End Musical Theater company, and get to explore all of the culture and history that London has to offer.

Don't miss out on your chance to support an up and coming star in the most crucial of ways; by contributing financially to their success.  Thank you for your time and suppot, and remember, "the angel of music is very strict, but when you're good to mama", mama can go to grad school!
