Bio
I've been acting since I'm 9 years old. I am the drama club's director at the high school where I teach English at. We're a small school, so "Director" usually means casting, sound, tech, set, and sometimes a horrible choreographer.
I'm also going for my MFA in Creative Writing in which I'm writing a full length play.
This past spring, Bloomsburg University produced my one-act play "No Place".
