How are you involved on campus?
I’m currently in RENT which will be performing in the Gilmore Theatre Complex from March 17th-27th. [Student tickets only $5!] [Shameless plug, I know] I’m also on Western’s Worklight Improv Team also known as W.I.T. I teach a weekly salsa class that anyone can attend! I tend to get a lot of Western students there too. [visit salsainkzoo.com for more info]
What is your greatest fear?
I would have to say failure, but I like to focus on the positive; I try to see possibilities for success rather than potential for failure.
What actress would play you in a movie about yourself?
Annie Wersching for sure! I’m a big 24 fan. She’s a great actress and a redhead like me!
Would you rather never be able to see again or never be able to hear again?
I need to hear. Music is my life. Although it’s nice having both obviously.
What is your relationship status?
Happily taken.
What is the weiredst thing we would find inside your fridge?
A pepperoni party platter. Cheese, crackers, and ham or pepperoni make a really great snack/light lunch, so I tend to eat them a lot.
Where is your favorite place on campus?
Gilmore Theatre Complex. It’s pretty much my second home.
Favorite vacation?
When I was 5 I went on a Disney cruise with my family, I don’t remember much of it- but we had the coolest waiter I’ve ever had at a table for the whole week! His name was Bernard. He’d make puppets out of napkins and play with my brothers and myself, my parents were somewhat upset they spent over a thousand dollars on a big fancy cruise vacation and all my brothers and I cared about was the napkin puppets. But they were really freakin’ cool.
Who is your hero?
My mom. I know. So cliché. But it’s true.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Perhaps working on a cruise line making napkin puppets for excited little children. Who knows? I tend to just go with the flow and see where things take me, and of course work my butt off in the process. I’m sure I’ll be doing something I love though. I’ll make sure of that! :D
