Lightning Round
What is your dream vacation destination and why? My dream vacation destination is Monaco. The James Bond films "Goldeneye" and " Never Say Never Again" were filmed and set there and I have been smitten ever since. Honorable Mention: Montenegro, for the same reason.
Are you an introvert or extrovert? I am an introvert. Though I do enjoy performing, I value solitude and alone time more than most. My social battery is very limited, so I preferably like to utilize it in the most necessary spaces.
What is your happiest moment in life? My happiest moment in life was the closing performance of my very first musical, Altar Boyz. I truly loved the experience from the cast to the rehearsal process, the music, and of course the many performances. To this day, this is my absolute favorite theatre experience and I hold it as the standard to all of my musical theatre endeavors.
