High School - From Theater to Film 

The Las Vegas Academy of the Arts (LVA) is a Grammy Award-winning public arts magnet high school, accepting students through a selective audition process. After accepting placement, students combine a rigorous academic program with their artistic major. 

I entered LVA as a theatre major. During my four years, I acted in over ten theatrical productions, including the leading role of Orpheus in Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice, and Lee Baum in Arthur Miller’s The American Clock. My experience as an actor, on stage and behind the scenes, set the foundation for my skills as a director in film.

At the beginning of my sophomore year, I helped promote and establish a Filmmaking major at LVA. For me, the need for this new major was propelled by my own production of short films. Ultimately, I graduated as valedictorian with a double major in theater and film. I’m honored to call myself a member of LVA’s first graduating class of film majors.
