I spent the Fall 2024 semester studying in London at Shakespeare’s Globe, where I played Tranio in scenes from Taming of the Shrew. Beyond my classwork, I saw a whopping 81 productions— including productions at the RSC, the National, and the Donmar Warehouse—traveled to five countries, and even made visits to three London city hospitals (none for me, long story!)
