She obtained her BFA from UTEP and her MFA from UCLA. She'd like to take this opportunity to thank all her teachers, as her performance is a culmination of the fruits of their labour, her family for putting up with her crazy schemes, the cast for making this an unforgettable experience, and Alex Wright for trusting her to carry this juggernaut of a show.
