37, MUSICAL THEATRE STAR
What’s your secret to making it to the final five?
I didn’t know the game coming into this. I’d never seen a season. It could get overwhelming hearing people talk about the game and not know what they were going on about, but I learned day by day, just being an observer. It’s a mixture of fate, willpower and strategy. The strategy came really late for me.
What has been you proudest moment so far?
My challenge with Jordan [Vandermade]. I’ll never forget standing there for two hours and 15 minutes with an absolute legend – it was an all-time CTI record! It stretched me physically, but the emotional and spiritual journey was the biggest challenge. At the two-hour mark, a peace came over me and I no longer felt pain, but it took a rollercoaster in my brain to get there first.
