  • I was born

    This is the day that I was born. I was born in Evanston Hospital in Evanston.
  • Got a job at Plato's Closet

    Got a job at Plato's Closet
    I started working at Plato's and was a Sales Associate
  • Quit my job at Plato's Closet

    I had to quit my job at Plato's Closet due to the immense time Hairspray rehearsals demanded.
  • Elected president of the Niles North Thespian Troupe 113

    I was elected by my peers in a vote to be their President for the 2015-2016 year.
  • Cast as Tracy Turnblad in Niles North's Hairspray

    After 2 and a half years of being really involved in both the onstage and backstage part of theatre, I was cast in a lead.
  • Opening night of Hairpsray

    Opening night of Hairpsray
    On this night, after the performance, I decided that I wanted to major in Musical Theatre for college.
  • Worked as a Performiing Arts Camp Counselor

    I was hired to work as a Performing Arts Camp Counselor for the Mayer Kaplan JCC, where I will continue to work this coming summer.
  • Accepted to my first BFA Musical Theatre Program

    Accepted to my first BFA Musical Theatre Program
    I auditioned and applied and was accepted for Musical Theatre at Viterbo University in La Crosse Wisconsin
  • Short Term Goals

    I hope to get through the rest of high school with good grades and get through my auditions without having it affect school too much.
  • Long Term Goals

    I'm hoping to get accepted to a couple more Musical Theatre programs and have a tough choice to make about where I will go. I do not know where I will be going- I applied to 16 schools and will audition for each one.
  • Graduated from college with BFA in Musical Theatre

    I am hoping not to have to go to graduate school, but it depends on where I see myself, and if I feel there is still more to learn. I would consider graduate school, but perhaps for teaching or somethinge else to add to my existing major.
  • Working as an actress/performer and probably a second job

    As an actress, there are no guarentees that you will have jobs and be making money year round. I will hopefully have another job (nannying, dog walking, waitressing, some temp work, etc) to live on, but my primary income will come from working in shows. I will spend the first couple of years trying to get my equity card, and once I get my equity card I will be able to make more money.
  • In 5 years I will live in Chicago, IL

    In 5 years I will live in Chicago, IL
    I will come back and live in IL, specifally Chicago because it is a great stepping stone to New York. In Chicago I can work and build my resume and prepare myself for the more cutthroat environment in New York. I would be close to my family and friends and in turn, close to help. It's a time to adjust to being on my own and being a working actress.
  • I will live in a City (Chicago)

    Cities are better for actors and performers becauase there are more opportunities for jobs, making connections, and starting from nothing.
  • Public Transportation

    I will not own a car because I will probably not be able to afford one and will not need one. This is because I will probably live in the cities for most of my adult life, and public transportation is more practical for those who live in the city and don't really leave much.
  • I will still be a working actress

    At this point in my life, I hope to have my equity card and will be working on bigger and better shows. I will hopefully be making more money than I was 5 years ago.
  • I will be living in New York City

    I will be living in New York City
    At this point in my life, I hope to be living in NYC and working as an actress. NYC is the biggest hub of theatre in America.
  • I will most likely be living in an apartment

    Condos are extremely expensive, as are houses in NYC. If I get an apartment with my husband then it would be less expensive.
  • I will most likely be married

    I can see myself being married at this stage of my life, but I will probably not have kids quite yet. I will, however, have pets. Growing up my house was never without pets, so I would find an empty apartment very strange and lonely. I will probably have cats and a dog or two.
