Though Aurora has and will always love performing, such as her previous stage roles which include Angie in The Wedding Singer and Miss Lark in Mary Poppins, on screen in The Novice (2021), and currently being involved with Improv at Trent, she has truly loved helping out with the behind the scenes of this company’s mission and is so excited to step into her new role as Vice-President. |
