My Travel Story

  • Educational/Research Trip
  • Professional Development
  • Study/Degree Abroad
I'M GOING TO N-Y-C! I have been invited to interview with Florida State University at the 2017 URTAs (University Resident Theatre Association) and Brown/Trinity University in February. I will be interviewing as a candidate for each school's MFA Directing program. Click here to view my directing portfolio and resume. 

This trip is a fantastic chance for me as a director, stage manager, and actor to job shadow other artists in NYC and to see as much theatre as possible. Please help make this trip a chance of a lifetime!

My Theatre Story
I began my theatre journey in the middle of my sophomore year of college. I was a history major, but after auditioning for the school musical and hearing some feedback from the direcor, I quickly found a passion for studying theatre that I have not found elsewhere. Despite my lateness to choose this path, I have flourished and never looked back. I have worked professionally in stage management and directing for the past three years at theatres throughout the Twin Cities including the internationally renown Guthre Theatre, Children's Theatre Company, and Ten Thousand Things. I have been so fortunate to be blessed with so many wonderful opportunities, and now I am honored with this chance to visit the city so well known to the theatre world.

What Am I Working On Currently?
I am the Choreographer and Co-Director for Sunset Hill Elementary's production of Treasure Island, which performs at 6:30pm at Sunset Hills Elementary School 13005 Sunset Trail, Plymouth, MN 55441. I am also the Stage Manager for the World Premiere production of Corazón Eterno (Always In My Heart) by Caridad Svich, directed by José Zayas, at Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis, MN.

My Achievements
My greatest achievements in stage management include: working as the Production Assistant for All the World’s a Stage: A Tribute Gala Celebrating Joe Dowling on the Wurtle Thrust Stage at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, MN, being the Assistant Stage Manager for The Wizard of Oz, at the Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis, MN, and being a Stage Management Intern for WICKED the Musical when it toured to Minneapolis in October 2013.

My greatest achievements as a director include: working as an Assistant Director for The Snowy Day and Other Stories by Ezra Jack Keats at the Children’s Theatre Company under the Artistic Director, Peter C. Brosius and having the opportunity to be a directing intern for The Crucible at the Guthrie Theater under the direction of their previous Artistic Director, Joe Dowling.
