More About Me
- Nicknames: Shortney, Corky, Court(s), Bergie, Iceberg
- Religion: Deist
- Heroes: My parents, Clay Roberts, and anyone who has "made it" in Theatre.
- Interests: Coffee: I work as a barista and want to eventually learn all there is to know about growing, roasting, and producing delicious coffee beans. One goal I have is to become a certified Barista at a Barista Academy. Theatre: I graduated with a BA in Theatre. I love acting, stage managing, directing, building set, hanging lights... basically anything that involves me working on a production. I'm a huge musical nerd. My favorites include The Last Five Years, Avenue Q, Sunday In the Park With George, RENT, and Sweeney Todd. Other Interests include Meat Loaf (the singer, not the food), Beta Omega Beta, Family Guy, my adorable doxie, Mirabelle. Goals for this year include learning to garden and cook.
- Expertise: I have been told that I'm the most accurate Family Guy quoter ever.<BR> I like to think that I'm a good barista. What I lack in skill I make up for in friendly service.
