Wyatt is a 20-year-old drama student at UNCSA in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he is pursuing acting, writing, singing, and dancing. An honest and loyal storyteller, he aims to create work that not only reflects his own experiences but also resonates with others.

Passionate about the power of art, Wyatt hopes to inspire people in simple yet meaningful ways—whether it’s encouraging kindness, offering a reason to get up in the morning, or providing an escape that leaves audiences with something they needed to hear or feel.

Above all, he strives to build connection and community through the stories he tells.
