In November of 2025 I was selected as the Speech & Drama Sterling Scholar for Crimson Cliffs High School.  I will represent my school at the Southwest Region Sterling Scholar Competition in March of 2026.   

The writers "A Christmas Carol: A New Musical" have begun looking for new markets to produce the show including other regional theaters and possible film/TV outlets.

In August of 2025, I was invited to join a group of professional actors to participate in the recording session for the first soundtrack of A Christmas Carol.  

I recorded and worked alongside:

• Blake Henri (Broadway - Harmony: A New Musial; Utah Shakespeare Festival - The Play That Goes Wrong; TV - The Chosen)

•  Vanessa Aurora Sierra (Broadway - Beetlejuice, A Beautiful Noise; National Tour - A Beautiful Noise).

I had the opportunity to be the student director for the show "How To Get Away With a Murder Mystery".  The show was fairly new, and this was the first time it had been performed in the state of Utah. The first performances I directed were part of the Crimson Cliffs High School One-Act performances and did 3 nights of performances.  After those performances, my show was chosen by the school theater director to represent CCHS at the UHSAA Region 9 One Act competition. This competition included 6 high schools from the region.  The show finished the competition in 3rd place overall, and qualified for the state theater competition.  I was also selected as the Outstanding Student Director for the region competition.  At the state competition, the show came in 6th place overall out of 15 shows in our classification. 

I had the amazing opportunity to be the director for Encores week long Encanto summer camp. There ended being over 70 kids involved, which we had to split between two casts.  We had 3 hour rehearsals for 5 days, then put on a short performance for the parents. As the director I oversaw all of the casting, script writing, lighting and the production staff. I was able to learn so how much about what it takes to direct a show! And those kids were so awesome! I was so proud of them and what the accomplished. This quick video was at the end of the performance when we were able to congratulate each other!

I had the amazing opportunity to be the assistant director and choreographer for Encores week long Frozen theater camp. There ended being over 70 kids involved, which we had to split between two casts.  We had 3 hour rehearsals for 5 days, then put on a short performance for the parents.  This youtube video highlights the experience I was able to have working with the kids in the camp.
