Goals & Aspirations: “I intend to move to Los Angeles after graduation. My goal would be to continue with my education as well as to work towards pursuing my acting career. I aspire to one day walk the red carpet and receive an Academy Award.”
Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “I am most proud of saving the theatre program at Durango. Theatre has always been an important part of my life, and my fellow peers and I truly restored a lot of what was taken away due to the budget cuts of last year.”
Josh Looks Up To: “I look up to three strong females. My mom, my sister and Lady Gaga. My mom truly raised and molded me into what I am today. My sister has always been the person to push me and stand by my side. Lady Gaga, although a strange choice, truly is a beacon of individuality and uses her voice to spread tolerance and acceptance.”
