“The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices you make will shape your life forever.”
“It don’t take much strength to pull a trigger. But try and get up every morning day after day, and work for a living. Let’s see him try that. Then we’ll see who the real tough guy is. The working man’s the tough guy. Your father’s the tough guy !”
As part of being on the cast, I had the opportunity of being media trained and participated in multiple PR interviews with some of the local radio and news stations in order to promote the show. Above is a live in-studio interview I did with WBRC 6 News. promoting the exciting pre-character show where Mirabel would come out and share all the arts and crafts in her basket!
My Time on Tour with Disney On Ice
Hello ! Here is a wrap up of all things I did in 2024. The highlight started in 2023 when I embarked on a 9 month tour with the cast of Disney On Ice to do some character work. We hit over 20 different states within the US and 1 other country- CANADA! I took on the role of Mirabel Madrigal from Disney’s “Encanto” in the VIP character pre-show experience while also taking on the role as a storytelling host! Hosting over 200+ shows, I feel I became part of the Madrigal family! I loved spending time with all the happy families that came along and embarked on our magical journey from Arendelle to the warm and sunny, MADRIGAL ENCANTO! Along with expanding my imagination thanks to the fun kidders, I was exposed to many useful skills that have helped me tremendously as an actor! For example, public relations/media training. Here are a few clips of the promotion we conducted for all of our upcoming shows! So much fun! Take a look!
