I’m from a small town.
I was raised on a farm in western Illinois. Growing up on a farm in a small town, I learned the small town perspective of pulling myself up by the boot straps. Learning this perspective at a young age taught me that as a person you have to believe in yourself to get through the hurdles in life.
My background is in political science and theatre.
As an undergraduate at the University of Dubuque, I majored in theatre and political science. I wanted to study these majors because I wanted to learn how politics related to theatre. My senior capstone for my political major was a paper that correlated the theories of Hobbes Levaithan and Pluto’s the Republic to the Merchant of Venice and Yellowstone to explain the ideas of mercy and justice.
I earned my Master’s in London.
After my undergraduate degree, I decided to go get my Master’s in LONDON! I got my Masters and Rose Bruford College at Sidcup where I developed my craft as an actor, writer, and director. I also learned movement techniques such as Gaga and Viewpoints. While I learned these things I also discovered my passion for a feminist POV mostly concerning women with financial troubles.
