Stage Experience
​
"For three years at Azusa Pacific University, I submerged myself in what I could of the operatic world. APU had a really great opera program and I volunteered myself as Stage Manager (I didn't have the voice to be under the spotlight). I had a variety of tasks for each show, sometimes stressful, but above all it was such a great experience learning about working the stage and also being part of great operatic works such as Mozart's classic Don Giovanni and the modern Judith Weir opera, The Vanishing Bridegroom."
