Q. What makes the College of Arts and Sciences at URI unique?
The College of Arts and Sciences is unique because of the opportunities available to learn from and work with professionals in your field.

What accomplishments and/or activities at URI are you most proud of now?
I am most proud of getting to perform in URI Theatre’s production of Miss Nelson is Missing! because we were able to stream to several hundred elementary students across Rhode Island. It was great to offer them educational entertainment during a hard time, especially for young children.

What do you value about your liberal arts education?
I value how well rounded my liberal arts education has been, allowing me to explore interests outside my chosen field and interact with fellow students from diverse perspectives.

What have been some highlights of your time in the Theatre department? What led you to specialize in acting?
I would definitely consider each show I’ve performed in with the Theatre department a highlight in their own right, as well as working in the box office all 4 years I’ve been here. I’ve made some of the strongest personal connections in this department, as well as meeting professional collaborators. I specialized in acting because I fell in love with it in high school, and when I saw Mary Poppins here at URI I knew I wanted to be a part of this magic.

What’s next for you?
What’s next for me is hitting the ground running! The theatre community in Rhode Island is full of wonder and diversity, and I’m going to start auditioning and putting myself out there with the hope of working with as many theatre companies on as many productions as I can!

Anything else you’d like to share?
URI has so much to offer, so make the most of your time here and have fun!
