I used to perform in small plays at my elementary school when i was younger but I have taken it seriously for about 6 years now!
What was your first show with Spotlight?
My first show at Spotlight was Into the Woods Junior in 2010 and I played one of the woodland fairies.
Why do you like performing in shows with Spotlight?
I love performing in shows at Spotlight because the creative team is so wonderful and loving towards everyone and everything. It has become my second home and I love growing from every show I do with this company.
What is your dream role?
I have been really lucky being able to play some of my dream roles already but it would have to be "Cosette" in Les Miserablés or "Hope Cladwell" in Urinetown.

My absolute favorite role that I have played is Mary Poppins because I had the most amazing experience with it at Spotlight. I met so many amazing people during this show and Mary was such a beautiful character to portray on stage. Plus, I got to fly, so that was pretty amazing!

Spotlight has definitely helped me grow as a performer and as a person. I used to be completely shy and would never step out of my comfort zone to perform in front of people. However, Spotlight helped me gain confidence in who I am as a performer and person. If it weren't for Spotlight, I don't think i would have been exposed to Musical Theatre at such a young age and wouldn't have been able to find my love for this art.
What do you like to do when you're not performing?
In my free time, I love going to Disneyland and spending time with my wonderful friends and family!
If you could choose a show for Spotlight to produce, what would it be and why?
Urinetown would be such an incredible show for Spotlight to do not just because it is one of my favorites but the music in this show is amazing! It would be a fantastic show for our company to do.
What are your strongest and weakest traits as a performer?
My strongest trait as a performer is definitely singing because I have been singing ever since I can remember. I sing daily no matter if it is to the radio in the car or showtunes in my room. I'm not the greatest dancer and it takes me a while to get things down, so that is what I spend most of my effort towards when I am rehearsing for a show.

This is a hard question because I love all of the shows we do but it is a three way tie between Mary Poppins, Into the Woods (2015), and Shrek The Musical. I met so many of my amazing best friends during these shows and made so many memories that will stay with me forever.
Anything else you want to say?
Anyone who ever feels upset about not getting a role that they want or rejection from something should always remember that your time will come and everything happens for a reason. Stay confident in yourself and your talents. You are enough. "You can't learn to love others until you learn to love yourself!"
