In 2016, I was first introduced to the world of performing arts. I immediately fell in love with the stage. I went on to audition for my very first and favorite musical, Mary Poppins. Since then, I have been involved with Tupelo Community Theatre. I am very blessed to call it my forever home.

After having a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious experience with Mary Poppins, I began to audition and volunteer for various productions at Tupelo Community Theatre along with Pied Piper Players.
