How’d I get my first job? In October 2013, I auditioned for the Broadway production of The Book of Mormon. The show’s casting team had seen me perform in Ragtime at Tisch Drama and they called me in. After my audition, I didn’t hear from anyone so I was convinced I bombed.

Fast forward to April 2014, when I received an email from The Book of Mormon casting director asking if I’d like to come back. I was like, “huh,” and gladly went to the callback. There were some 16 people in the room—associate directors, producers, and the entire casting team. It was quite overwhelming.

A week and a half later, I got an official phone call from the company manager. I got the job! It was an awesome feeling. After only two weeks of rehearsal, I made my Broadway debut—on the night of my graduation from NYU/Tisch. It was such a whirlwind!
