Hamish has spent most of his life figuring out how to be present. Upon graduation from Northwestern, Hamish was awarded what is historically known as the Department Award for Excellence in Acting, and he was one of thirteen actors selected for Northwestern’s New York Acting Showcase. 




Poetry in Voice


In 2018, Hamish was the first-place national winner of Poetry in Voice, a poetry recitation contest for high school students. He presented three poems at the finals, which were held at the University of Toronto. He was later invited to recite one of them (“Illegalese: Floodgate Dub”) at the globally-coveted Griffin Poetry Prize ceremony later that year.
