Haley Richardson is a master multitasker.

The fiddle player’s travel to more than 50 cities in six months hasn’t prevented her from earning a degree while pursuing her dream as a cast member of Riverdance, the internationally acclaimed show featuring Irish dance and music.

Online classes allow Richardson to earn her education and perform in the production’s 25th anniversary show.

“It’s a privilege to live in an era when it’s not necessary to choose between increased education and the continuation of a professional path that allows me to do the two things I love most—travel and play music.”
