  • Standing on a theater stage and presenting in an FBLA competition may seem like different worlds, but both require confidence, clarity, and the ability to engage an audience. One of my most memorable moments in FBLA was competing in a public speaking event where I had to deliver a newscast regarding a emergency situation. The experience taught me how to command a room, structure my thoughts effectively, and think on my feet—skills that have directly translated to my stage presence. Whether delivering a monologue or leading a scene, I now approach performances with the same strategic mindset, ensuring every word and movement serves a purpose.

  • Forensics has been a game-changer in refining my ability to communicate emotion and nuance. I remember preparing for an intense dramatic interpretation piece, spending hours dissecting every line to find its true meaning. That same attention to detail has made me a more intentional actor, allowing me to bring authenticity to every role I play. The ability to analyze a script, embody different perspectives, and convey complex emotions has become second nature, giving depth to my performances on stage.

  • Tenor Section Leader, Varsity Letter Earned, WSMA Solo and Ensemble District 1* rating received for three classical and three musical theatre pieces, WSMA Solo and Ensemble State 1 rating for three classical and three musical theatre pieces (two with perfect scores), and Social Media Manager. 

  • Through Key Club, I’ve had the privilege of participating in service projects that connect with people on a deeper level. One experience that stands out was organizing an event for children, where I saw firsthand how storytelling could bring joy and inspire others. That moment reinforced the idea that performance isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about making people feel something real. Key Club has taught me empathy, adaptability, and the power of human connection, all of which have made my portrayals on stage more genuine and impactful. This past year I also competed in the talent show at the WIUM District Conference, placing first.
