Why did you apply for Next on Stage?

I applied because I thought it would be a great opportunity to learn and grow as an artist by receiving valuable feedback from amazing broadway professionals.

What does musical theatre mean to you?

Performing gives me the opportunity to express myself and touch others through this special art form.

What is a fond theater memory you have?

One of my favorite memories was getting to play Mufasa in my school production because Lion King was my first ever musical I saw so playing that role was very special.

What charity did you pick and why?

I chose In Motion Arts Alliance because their mission is to provide Greater Orlando young artists: education, training, and performance opportunities to develop a voice, empowering them to speak to audiences using the universal language of performance art.

Share a memory from seeing a show.

I remember seeing Newsies on Broadway in the orchestra 3rd-row center, and I remember being in awe of how amazing the dancing was. After I saw it, I was inspired to continue training towards my goal of being on Broadway someday.

Who is your dream choreographer to one day work with?

Andy Blankenbuehler

What have you been doing during quarantine?

I having been training and practicing my craft while also teaching and taking classes on zoom.

Share a fun upcoming project!

Last year I had the most incredible time working with Debbie Allen, Dolly Parton, and more on the upcoming Netflix Holiday Musical Dolly Parton's Christmas On The Square.
