Plans
My dream is performing, to encourage young people to follow their dreams. It all started when I was just five years old in the cushy seat of a Broadway theater, I sat feeling endless excitement. While I don’t remember much, I remember how I felt, it sparked my love for performing. Once I finally had the chance to try it, I have never looked back. My dream is to inspire even just one kid to try something new, regardless of fear, just like someone did once for me.
