Student reporter

Roger Rees Student Reporter Award

Selected as the 2025–2026 Roger Rees Awards Student Reporter, covering one of the region’s premier celebrations of high school musical theater for BroadwayWorld. Chosen by BroadwayWorld Editor-in-Chief Nicole Rosky, I interviewed nominees, covered the awards and red carpet, and co-hosted the online pre-show. The role also placed me in contention for the national Jimmy Awards Student Reporter Search.

Qualifying video

This video played a significant role in helping me earn recognition at the Roger Rees Awards and ultimately allowed me to become a student reporter for BroadwayWorld, where I had the incredible opportunity to cover the red carpet for Schmigadoon! on Broadway. This experience gave me the chance to combine my passion for theater, journalism, and performance while representing student voices in the Broadway community.
