Q: What was your favorite RSP Show or Role? Why?

Q: What are you excited about for Season 12?
A: I am excited for Hellcab! I was not a part of RSP when they put this show up the first time and I have heard nothing but great things about it so I am super excited to have some part in it this time around.

Q: How have you seen the ensemble, including yourself,
evolve?
A: Well...I literally went from intern (this didn't last very long), to ensemble member, to company manager in one year! Crazy, right?! But what a trip it has been! I have got to know our ensemble members more and more and I find that I'm always learning something new about each of them and their talents. We have a pool of people with all kinds of talents and skills that always make me smile and keep me thinking.

Q: Favorite Memory or experience in RSP?
A: I have a lot of favorite experiences with RSP but I think my absolute favorite is that many of us are also very involved with the NYIT Awards...another amazing group of people! My favorite recent experience was the IT Awards nom party! What a fantastic event where the indie theatre community comes together to celebrate our accomplishments!
