What is a memory from high school that makes you proud?

Sweet talking my way out of a very expensive speeding ticket right in front of the school, running late to the graduation ceremony. The cap and gown helped.

What is a memory from high school that makes you cringe?

Let’s be real. It was 98.7% cringe.

Is there someone from your high school times, peer or teacher, that you wish you could reconnect with?

Shoutout to Christine St. Jean, my favorite history teacher, and to Stu Cameron my theatre director, and a good many others. I don’t need to reconnect necessarily, but I carry gratitude for how they encouraged and challenged me.

What’s the most wild thing you did during the pandemic?

Hmm…does a massive panic attack count as ‘wild’?

Do you have anything coming up that you want us to shout out on social?

In mid-October, I’ll be acting in the long-awaited return to Ensemble Studio Theatre of ‘Asking For Trouble’, the ten-minute play series from the playwrights of Youngblood

How can people follow your work?
