Smart Ride | Khalia

"I want to do theatre until I die," says Khalia.

You can't get much more direct about your life goals than that. Khalia will be auditioning for WMU's extremely competitive theatre program in February, and for now is taking the necessary steps and classes to prepare her. She regularly talks to theatre faculty, who are willing to help with anything.

After graduating, Khalia plans to pursue her career in theatre and also open her own theatre center where she can train young people. She knows she'll be ready, since WMU gives her plenty of opportunities to try new things and meet different people, especially in the theatre department.

What does Khalia do when she's not performing? She performs. She's a member of the dance team, which keeps her active and in front of the public where she belongs.
