What was one of the highlights of your UBC experience?
The highlight of my university career has, without a doubt, been the people I’ve met. Being connected with like-minded and supportive people has molded me into the artist and person I am today. Creating art every day with my amazing cohort is a privilege. We have made memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
What kind of creative work do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
I have so many hopes and dreams for the future. Something that is important to me right now is creating art with other trans artists and creating a space specifically for us as theatre artists. I’m focusing my energy on my community while also trying anything and everything that comes my way.
What is your dream role?
My ultimate life goal is to be in a Muppet movie of any variety. I have big plans. Disney, call me.
What are some of your special skills?
I have a handful of silly skills that I’ve collected along the way. My personal favourites are saying the alphabet faster backwards than forwards and my very bad juggling skills. I also play guitar, trumpet and ukulele.
Who would you most like to have dinner with?
I would love to have dinner with my Grannie again. I have so much to tell her!
