Musical Theatre, AMTC Artistic Director
What do you love most about this school: I love how amazing our students are at everything they set their minds to. They work so hard and are such positive, hard working young artists that they make everyday so fulfilling. 
 
Favorite Artist (musician, writer, director, painter, etc.):  My favorite musical theatre composer is Stephen Sondheim. His brilliance will never be matched. Anyone who can compose both Into the Woods and Sweeney Todd? Pure genius!
 
What would you choose if you could only eat one type of cuisine for the rest of your life? Beignets from Cafe Du Monde or boiled crawfish! I am from New Orleans and those are my absolute favorite foods!
 
What’s one professional achievement you’re most proud of? I was 1 of 10 directors, after a national search,  to direct a new work at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. in 2015. I learned so much and got to work with so many amazing artists from all around the United States!
