I believe in the power of stories. 

 

When I was a child, I fell in love with make-believe. This love for storytelling still burns in me today. I devour novels at an alarming rate. I am moved to tears by powerful movies, music, and art. I thrive in educational environments, and hold a deep passion for learning about the stories of all humankind's past, present, and future. 

 

Acting and performing continue to be my favorite methods of sharing the stories that must be told. The presentation of narrative is, to me, a way to reach out to audiences and touch their souls - a way to teach them about humanity and the beauty and pain that lives in the world around us. Through theatre and the stories we put onstage, I believe we have the power to change the world.

 

This is why I am an actor, a songwriter, a lifelong learner, and an artist:

 

Because I believe in the power of stories.
