Who is your favorite/most influential FACS teacher, and why?
My favorite teacher at FACS is Maria Laurenzo. She has not only been the most driving facet of my pursuit of musical theater and the arts but also the most amazing person and role model I’ve ever met. I’m delighted that I got to know her, and I’m sure her teachings will last forever in my mind.

Describe your best memory at FACS
My best memory at FACS would be performing in our shows, and I can’t choose just one. All three were so important to not only me but everyone involved, and the people I met there are now some of the most pivotal in my life. The memories and experiences I’ve had have been indescribable.

What advice would you give younger students?
My advice to younger students would be to come out of their shells and leave their comfort zones, no matter how difficult it may seem or be. Sometimes, that can truly turn you into the person you were meant to be, and that’s what it did for me.
