Biography that I wrote about myself
Insert clever heading
Ever since I was born, I've been crying. It turns out that I can be good at a lot of things if I focus my energy somewhere creative. I've been acting ever since I was a child. I made my stage debut at age 3 singing a cover of 'Little People' from Les Misérables in a concert setting. At age 4, I had my acting debut in 'The King and I' at Raytown Arts Council in Kansas City MO.
My mother was a director at a community theatre, so I've always been around musical theatre. My earliest memories of music were singing along to musicals. I've been involved with Springfield Little Theatre in Springfield MO since 2008 when I was 7 years old.
I've been doing magic ever since my mom tricked me into believing the Great Pumpkin would give me a toy in exchange for my Halloween candy. That toy was a magic set. Throughout Middle school and High School, I would perform shows at smaller venues, and do impromptu street magic. It is more of a side hustle, but it is a business opportunity, so I figured I'd add it.
In 2021, I graduate from OTC with an Associate of Arts, and am currently attending Missouri State university with honors to study film and media production.
