Tell us about working on Marymount Manhattan’s production of “Polaroid Stories”… What were your responsibilities? I was the production stage manager which means I was in charge of the cast and crew making sure everyone was on the same page. I was the one calling the show.  It was a great show to be a part of, it took over my life but I was able to work with so many talented people which made it worth it.

You’re from Florida, how do you handle/deal with the cold winter of NYC? Do you like it? Well I don’t really handle it well.  I wear a lot of layers and complain a lot.  But you get through it.  The snow is pretty but for like a week.  I love living here but I could totally live without the cold.

What made you want to come to NYC? I transferred from a college back home because I decided that I wanted to pursue stage managing and producing since that is what I did in high school.  I realized I didn’t want to give that up because I love it.  So I looked into a lot of places but new my heart was set on the city.  And here I am!
