I chose JMC because of the vast amount of opportunities it provides from stage to screen to voice acting, and just getting that chance to do it within two years and meet incredible people. It was such a supportive environment to look at, even from the audition, if it's something you're incredibly passionate about and you've always thought, "This is something I wanna do" what better way to do it than give yourself the chance to study it and fully immerse yourself in that experience?

The connections I made while studying at JMC were the most important connections I've ever made in my life. As soon as I walked into the building I knew this is exactly where I need to be, this is exactly the path that I need to take the freedom to just kind of be exactly who I am unapologetically.
