As a student at the National Theatre School, I didn't always understand why we did all of the exercises we had to do or how they would help me in my work, but I had to learn to trust my instincts, trust the teachers who were guiding me and my fellow classmates. I learned how to be a team player. Slowly, I started to discover all of the creative potential I had and that anything was possible! Thank you NTS!!!

I believe that my training at the School, not only in the art of design but in the practice of theatre in Canada, gave me the tools and networks I have needed to make not only a career, but a life in the theatre.
