Actress and producer Kathleen Simmonds ’16, MFA Acting, is having a moment. On September 24, she will find out if her work wins a 2019 Emmy Award.

She describes herself as an optimist, which is probably why she buys more books than she could ever read! Overall, she is an incredibly hard-working and inspiring student.
