“I earned my degree in a field that everyone warned me would merit no income: theatre. I am happy to announce that everyone was wrong. What is theatre? Storytelling. While I did not immediately succeed as an actress, I discovered a different venue that used my theatre skillset – marketing, which is also storytelling. Utilizing my performance knowledge and theatrical design skills, I have become a successful marketer. Theatre gives me the confidence to present myself to any audience, and I found that there are more places to ‘perform’ than a stage.”
