Hey, I'm Michael and I love to create and entertain. I've had my fair share of just about everything and only plan to grow from there. I adore putting my dancing, sewing, and creative skills together to create full-fledged art projects and performances.
During my senior year, I earned the title of Mr. RHS 2023 and won Crowd Choice at the Talent Show for my dancing, giving me the notorious nickname "Magic Michael". I also won first place for my ceramic pot series "Seven Deadly Sins" at JJC's High School Area Art Exhibition as well as Honorable Mention at SPC Area Art Conference. My collaborative photography project "Candy Crush" with Michele Lessaris won Honorable Mention at Chicagoland's 4x5 and JJC also
Besides being a writer for the Spartus, I was the treasurer for the National Honors Society, ran the Instagram for the National Arts Honors Society, played JV volleyball for a year, was a Trustee for the Thespian group, a part of the school's leadership team, and worked regularly at sports concessions. I was also backstage crew for the theater department's productions of Beauty and the Beast and Ashlands Falls before I moved on to be Prop Chief for shows such as Anastasia, Clue, and Pippin.
I will be attending Columbia College Chicago to pursue my passion for the arts and find a home in the city's nightlife. Don't be afraid to reach out if you ever have anything you want to share <3
