Major
Acting / Theatre Performance

Why I chose my major
I chose my major because I wanted to study acting with hopes of performing professionally on stage, on film, and beyond, with a strong foundation in live theatre. I enjoy pursuing my passion for acting every day across different classes that test my skills and help me to grow in my artistry.

Involvement
I am involved with the Student Ambassador Society, Shocker Navigators, School of Performing Arts Student Leadership Council (SPACO), Wichita State Performing Arts Company (WUPAC), Wichita State Music Theatre Company (WSMTC), Off the Cuff Improv, Shockers Vote Coalition, and WSU Fight Club (Stage Combat Club).

Why I chose Wichita State
I chose Wichita State because it offered an immersive program in acting and numerous scholarship opportunities, all while having a reasonable faculty-student ratio and providing consistent support for students, helping me find a home on campus.

Favorite thing about WSU
My favorite thing about Wichita State is, without a doubt, the community. I get to work and spend time with fellow students who are driven, passionate, and welcoming every single day, whether in my classes or through my involvements across campus.
