Other Info

I was a member of my high school’s Thespian troupe (2449), earning various superiors at districts and FL states. I was also my troupe’s first ever entry in costume construction, where I earned Best in Show at districts and straight superiors at states, in addition to large group musical which also earned straight superiors. After the completion of Lake Highland’s state-of-the-art theatre, I was on its full time staff helping set-up and run its many monthly performances. I am currently a drama major (comp sci minor) at Centre College and have taken specialty courses in scenic design and directing. In 2012, I was part of a group of students who took a devised piece, After Orpheus, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it played for four performances. I produced and directed a three-person show called The Bible: The Complete Word of God (Abridged) which opened three weeks after our first rehearsal. I have taught myself how to program hardware for personal and theatrical use, namely the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and Adafruit's Flora platform.
