Describe your favorite Berklee experience so far.

I loved singing with Berklee's Broadway Band. We were able to perform in the Berklee Performance Center which was one of the coolest places to perform on campus. I also got to sing one of my favorite musical theater songs ("Legally Blonde" from Legally Blonde). Also, the Berklee students who were in the band/vocalists were all so incredibly talented.

When you think about your favorite class so far, what is one example of why you enjoyed it?

My favorite class so far has been all of my acting classes! There is always such a beautiful sense of community and celebration in those classes. Everyone wants their classmates to grow and succeed.

What is your favorite part about studying and living in Boston? 

I absolutely love living in the city of Boston. I go on walks almost every day and there is always something to see. Boston also has such a beautiful and kind community of humans living here.

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone applying to Berklee College of Music or Boston Conservatory at Berklee?

Remember to smile and be kind when auditioning. Positivity and passion go a LONG way!

Where is your favorite place on campus?

"Secret" practice rooms on the fourth floor of a BoCo building.... best acoustics hands down.

Why did you choose Berklee?

It is one of the top performing arts schools in the country!

What are your plans for after graduation?

I plan to head to New York City and start auditioning my face off! I really want to pursue the Broadway dream and work in film/TV as well!

What have you enjoyed most about the live shows you’ve been involved in at Berklee?

I love how supportive and celebratory the audience is! They are always cheering so loud no matter if it's a performance in the Berklee Performance Center or in the black box theater!

Where do you hope to perform this coming year?

The Boston Conservatory main stage or other theaters in the Boston area!
