I am also a team player and thrive in collaborative environments. I am eager to work closely with the artistic team, directors, and fellow casting associates to ensure the best possible casting choices for each production. Lastly, I must mention my deep admiration for Shakespeare’s Globe and its impact on the theatre industry. I am excited about the opportunity to be a part of a company that not only produces exceptional productions but also has a strong commitment to education and outreach. I am passionate about using theatre as a tool for social change and I believe that Shakespeare’s Globe’s Education and Outreach programs are a testament to the company’s dedication to making a positive impact on its community.
