I kind of knew at a young age that I wanted to do musical theatre,
and so when it came time to select a college...
I wanted to find one that was one of the top programs in the country.
Which was how OU got on my radar in the first place.
We've got a terrific program here,
and soon as I visited it was clear as day that this was where I wanted to be.
Because the amount that I have learned being here in just one year,
it astounds me and not just what we've learned in classes,
but what we've learned from the guests artists that they bring in,
and from the casting directors, and people who are working in the industry right now.
And the kind of insight and experience that you can learn from them is amazing.
You think when you're...leaving high school and all that familiarity and everything you know,
it's really scary, but as soon as you get on campus it's a blast.
I mean, the first quarter (I don't know if you call it a quarter),
whatever the first half of the first semester,
I hardly called home at all because I was so engrossed in everything.
It wasn't that I missed home, it was such a new and exciting experience that I didn't even realize...
you know, I wasn't even thinking about home.
