Summary
Charismatic student bringing experiencing working and volunteering in youth theatre programs, both local to my original hometown as well as in state in Chestertown, NY. Forest Lake Camp is an english-speaking summer camp in the Adirondacks that draws kids from all over the world, primarily South America, to better their english while providing the experiences of a classic summer sleepaway camp. As the current Head Drama Counselor at Forest Lake Camp, I am responsible for the directing, casting and producing of two main stage productions throughout the summer. Since working at multiple youth summer theatre programs, I am thoroughly trained and experienced in working with kids aged 7-17. I have extensive history in both theatre and improv and find my skills lean more towards comedy especially when it comes to the latter.
