Age: 18

Hometown: North Mankato, Minn.

Attending: Conservatory of Music at Baldwin Wallace University, Berea, Ohio

I started my freshman year at Baldwin Wallace University's Conservatory of Music this fall. This past summer I was honored with the opportunity to make my "Broadway Debut" by representing Spotlight Education in the Jimmy Awards. On June 24th, I performed at the Minskoff Theatre in New York City alongside 85 other incredibly talented high schoolers to compete for Best Actor and Best Actress. I learned a great deal in one week, and I am grateful for the instruction and inspiration I received throughout my entire experience.

I aspire to perform at Lincoln Center in either a musical or an opera.

My best memory from Minnesota Varsity was listening to the radio from my grandparents' living room and giving them big hugs after my name was announced as a Featured Round Artist.
