I had the opportunity to participate in several actor training programs, including the Teen Repertory Company directed by Janet Louer at the Actor's Training Center near Chicago. I also took part in the Young Company actor training program, directed by John Maclay, at First Stage Theatre in Milwaukee. My journey in performing arts continued at Julie’s Touch of Silver dance studio in Oshkosh, directed by Julie Seckar-Anderson, where I studied tap, hip-hop, jazz, and ballet for 7 years and competed in State, Regional, and National team competitions. Additionally, I attended the Boston University Summer Theatre Institute (BUSTI) for high school students and performed with the KIDS from Wisconsin musical theater touring company, formerly directed by Mark Dorn, where I sang and danced for 3 consecutive summers and served as dance captain during my final summer in 2016.
