Class of 2025
Majors in Theater Studies and Public Policy; Minor in Spanish

I'm a senior from Thousand Oaks, CA studying theater and public policy. I'm passionate about service and the arts, and I hope to become a performer and producer. I am a Spanish minor, and I've furthered my study of the language through DukeEngage Paraguay and Duke in Madrid. At Duke, I'm involved with Me Too Monologues, Hoof ‘n’ Horn, Duke Players and Speak of the Devil. I am the recipient of the Brodhead Service Fellowship, the Forlines Family Theater Studies Grant, and the Leadership and Arts Policy (LAPI) Fellowship. In my free time, I enjoy being in nature and singing quite loudly, and I often do both at the same time.

Favorite Class: THEATST 350: Mainstage Acting, because I got to be in RENT with my best friends!
