Which teacher influenced you most or who will you remember most from Bangor and why? 

There are three teachers who inspired me the most. Mr. Di Minico, Mr. Hachtman, and Mr. Weaver. Mr. Di Minico has opened me up and made me a more confident performer, Mr. Hachtman never gave up on helping me with my studies, and Mr. Weaver inspired me with his most random humor and made me laugh.

My best high school memory was going through tech week of our school’s yearly musical with my friends and remembering how dead we all were, but yet still having the time of our lives.

My worst high school memory was forgetting words on stage during a performance.

If there were a movie made about your high school days, which actor would play your part and why? 

If there were a movie made about my high school days, Kate McKinnon from Saturday Night Live could play my part. She’s hilarious and would nail any role she plays.

The first place I want to go when I arrive at school is the choir room because it’s my second home.

What is your favorite quote to live by and why?

What is your favorite musical that you’ve been in? Why?  

My favorite musical I’ve been in is “42nd Street” because that musical really brought the cast together in such a different way and we all bonded to achieve one goal; nailing tap dancing to perform our absolute best.  

If you were given 1 million dollars, what would be the first thing you buy and why?  

If I were given 1 million dollars I’d want to buy a house and save the rest for furniture and bills. Maybe buy a huge hamster bubble thing now that COVID-19 is a thing, add that to the list.

One place I’d really like to travel to is Hawaii or any place with a beautiful beach. I love good weather and swimming always.
