Working on plays and musicals, I cultivated my talent for design. I am a Sophomore at the University of Oklahoma, majoring in Scenic Design. Each year my interest in theatre has increased as I learn new skills. I was a back-to-back finalist in the UIL State Theatrical Design Contest and came in 4th Place in 2018. I was among the top 20 design artists in 2017. In addition to theatre, I am also interested in film. Theatre has given me a better appreciation for film making, specifically, cinematography. From both my theatre and film studies, I realized the importance of storytelling: ensure that you grab the audience’s attention and never let go. I wouldn't love live theatre if it weren't for my love for film first. Movies taught me that being fully immersed in an entertainment experience is the greatest feeling. Live theatre has let me execute it.
