Fun Fact

As a senior I directed my high school's production of Fiddler on the Roof. I was responsible for a cast of 60+ actors, 20 members of the pit orchestra, and 20 crew. The musical was the most successful one at my high school to date, and made enough to entirely fund the next year's production

Passion

Political wonk, aspiring public affairs strategist, and strong proponent of the Oxford comma.
