Actor - Playwright - Educator

Hi, I'm Xavier

I am a Kent State University Graduate with a Theatre Performance degree and Pre-Law and Philosophy minor.

​

Passionate about all things literature, playwrighting, and Shakespeare, I am working towards building a library of online resources for students like myself who share a common interest in the world of liberal arts.
