What’s New?
- MFA Begins!
This week begins the start of my journey to getting my MFA in Acting at West Virginia University!
This three year journey was not what I was expecting to take even two years ago, and I here I sit at my desk planning out an acting class for my assistantship. Morgantown is an entirely different world from So-Cal, and I can’t wait to see how I grow as an artist as well as a human.
