To speak to my experience at the Atlantic Theater school is to talk about a truly life changing event in my life. It changed my life forever. Full stop. Artistically, personally, everything. To be able to work with some of the best directors in the world, the writers, the best actors, are your peers. And then to do that along some of the best teachers in the world- its truly unbelievable.

And from where I came from, Bondi Beach, schlepping it around the shores of Sydney to come here to New York City and be immersed in this theater scene and this creative scene over here changed my life. Really did. I mean that, truly.

And for all you international people deciding, thinking whether or whether not to join- Do it. Take the plunge. You won't regret it. I didn't.
