Bachelor of Fine Arts - Theatre Education
I received my BFA in Theatre Education from Utah State University. During my studies, I developed a strong foundation in all aspects of theatre, including acting, directing, and design. I also had the opportunity to work on a number of productions, both on and off stage, which helped me to develop a deep understanding of the collaborative nature of theatre.
