    I once played Hermia from "A Midsummer Night's Dream"! But I'm actually probably the most like Beatrice from "Much Ado About Nothing."

    Romeo — I am a romantic, a dreamer, a soul that feels everything. I crave love and real connection. Life feels like a ship at sea — lifted and battered by the waves. I can be dramatic, but it comes from sincerity; my heart is always trying to do the right thing.

    I play Peter Quince from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in my work life, guiding fourth and fifth grade "rude mechanicals" — most of whom have never put on a play before — in the classroom performance of Shakespeare. I admire how patient Quince is and how he makes space for all of his players to shine.
