Welcome to my blog. My entire life I've had a passion for theatre, in particular musical theatre. While for some, this passion may dim over the years, for me, it's grown into a love so strong that I've decided to devote my life to the arts. As a college graduate with a business administration degree working in the financial services industry, most of my peers are going on to get their MBAs. However, that didn't sound like a degree worth my time or effort since my interests have always been arts related.
I was the child who was never successful at sports but never cared because I was way more excited to perform after school. I always wanted to grow up and work in a theatre. Although it took some time for me to realize that my dream could be achieved, I finally decided life was too short for me not to pursue it, and I am on my quest for a career in arts administration. The journey begins with the start of graduate school this Fall. Upon getting into the program of my choice for an MS in Arts Administration, I wanted to start this blog to chronicle my assignments, theatrical events, and stories along the way to pursuing my dream: to work at a theatre. Ideally, I would eventually become a part of senior management, become President, or become a part of a Board at a theatre, but I'm open to where life takes me in this field. With a mix of determination, devotion, and hesitation, I'm finally ready to begin this adventure.

Musical Theatre Quote of the Moment: "In my life, there are so many questions and answers that somehow seem wrong. In my life, there are times when I catch in the silence the sigh of a faraway song. And it sings of a world that I long to see. Out of reach, just a whisper away, waiting for me." ~ Les Miserables
