Nyles Emile, Young Company member

I joined back in 2018, I was still a freshman. I helped organize the conversation between our friends from the Scarlet Collective, on their residency and working with Young Company. I want to go to college, and I want to start on my career in Acting. I enjoyed the years I’ve had with Irondale and  I don’t doubt there will be more!

Ruby Papavassiliu, Young Company member, Junior Company alumna

I joined Irondale when I was 7, in 2010. I helped put together questions for both of the panels. After graduation, I plan on going to college in order to continue my acting journey. Irondale has taught me so much about the world and had such a positive impact on me growing up. I hope in the future I can pay them back by collaborating with them again.

Christina Ramsey, Young Company alumna

I joined Irondale in 2015 when I was just starting high school. As well as helping put together the questions for our panel, I also organize a conversation between the STEAM team. As I am a year and a half away from my college journey being over, Irondale has helped me become more positive and look at the world with a third eye because it can become overwhelming.
