What My Degree in Theatre Taught Me
“There is no world without theatre”—Edward Bond. It’s true. I found this quote when I was 17, but in the last four years its meaning to me has changed a lot. I started a drama degree in 2015 convinced I was going to be on the West End—one of the big names, in demand all over the world.

Being Transgender at University
Going to university for the first time can be a terrifying experience anyway. Add to that being transgender, and it can just seem to get even worse.

Silver: A Golden Opportunity
A couple of months ago I seriously evaluated my financial situation for the first time in years. I have some things that I am saving for, but I was searching for a long term investment that made it difficult to turn it back into cash. After doing some research, I came across the precious metal, Silver. Having a price point that suited my financial standing by being significantly cheaper than gold made silver a much more attractive investment for myself. There are various reasons as to why many investors look to precious metals as a worthy, long-term investment, and my goal is to share with you some of the things that I have learned thus far.

To: A First Year College Student
What I've learned from my first year in college is preparation is a joke. You can't be prepared for everything life throws at you. I've decided to compile a somewhat of a list of things I wish I was better prepared for!

Reasons to Consider Boarding School
Boarding schools have unfairly garnered a sort of bad reputation among parents and children unfamiliar with the actual workings of these unique educational establishments. Sometimes considered to be on the more “extreme” end of private school options in the United States, boarding schools can actually provide a variety of unique opportunities to students and families willing to make the sacrifice of time and money. These reasons to consider boarding school cover the vast array of advantages that boarding schools offer, and they just might convince you to consider sending your child to finish their studies at a boarding school.

The Life of an Actress
Just a few days ago, I was running around New York City—battling the freezing rain, character shoes, and all. I was holding on to my rep book for dear life, and I swear my resume was screaming "HELP!!!!" as my headshot tore into my soul with it's dead eyes. You know exactly what I'm talking about, too. Ever see a headshot with a lively smile but 'please-let-this-be-over-I-hate-this-CAN-WE-ADD-A-FILTER-TO-THIS-CAN-YOU-PHOTOSHOP-MY-BIG-NOSE' eyes? If you haven't, go look up some bad headshots and laugh with me. Anyway, so I'm out here looking a damn mess.

The State of Journalism in Today's World
In 2002, I graduated from college with a degree in journalism and mass communication. The school I attended has a solid program with a pretty good reputation. My class was one of the first to really dive into the territory of what we were then calling new media. Basically, that was writing and generating news for a web-based audience. I spent my entire time in college writing for the school newspaper and also did some work for the news magazine and interned at the major newspaper in our town. After graduating, I spent a few years working on a freelance basis for a community paper.
