Andy is a transplant to Albuquerque, coming from the Midwest and loving the sunny days. He is a graduate of The Second City Comedy Studies Program in Chicago and former traveling Demotivational Speaker because why be perfect when you can be average? Andy enjoys being both on stage and behind the scenes with recent credits at MTS including performing as Clifford Bradshaw in Cabaret and working as the scenic designer for Sweeney Todd and scenic designs and master carpenter for Cinderella. He previously served as the president of the Michigan Intramural and Recreational Sports Association where he focused mainly on fundraising and by-law and policy making and hopes to bring that experience to MTS. He currently sings with the New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus.

Growing up in NM and attending UNM has given her the opportunity to meet many of the incredibly talented musicians around town. It is her passion to ensure she is doing all she can to make MTS the most inclusive and equitable theater in New Mexico.
