I make sketch comedy videos on my personal youtube channel, Loud Milk Productions, as well as for a channel I am a producer for, Hello Generic. I started an improv troupe at my school, Loyola University Maryland. I regularly perform at and take classes with Baltimore Improv Group. I have also acted in a Netflix Science Show for kids, which should be released 2018. I was in a Sketch Comedy troupe during the summer of 2017, called Sisterwives, and we performed shows all around New York City.

One of my best friends passed away of pediatric cancer in September of 2017. He started and contributed to many charities throughout his whole life, and he was an inspiration for everybody in our community. It put life in a whole new perspective for me, since it wasn't "fair" that such a good guy like him died so young. It forced me to analyze what's "fair" and what isn't. And honestly, it was very refreshing to realize that nothing is fair. Life is unpredictable and short, so let's LIVE it.

In January 2017, I started my school's first improv troupe. Around that same time, I became a house manager and started taking classes at Baltimore Improv Group. I made valuable connections, read everything scrap of information I could on improv, and gave my improvisors every opportunity to learn from more talented improvisors than myself. This all culminated at the College Improv Tournament East Coast Regional in DC. My team beat every single school in Maryland that competed.

I have a tendency to not know when to stop talking. So on the New Years Eve going into 2016, I was very intoxicated and created the funniest joke ever told - or so I thought. There was a tall, blonde, Russian student at Navy at this party, and I thought it was hysterical that, "if Slav got hit by a train, he wouldn't move and the train would break." Nobody cared for that, so I continued, "If Slav got hit by Kamikaze Pilots, he would be unscathed." My friends had to privately tell me to shut up.

So many things are off limits. I don't give a shit about your religion or politics. I think people get too hung up on these things. No conversation about religion ever ended ended with somebody getting baptized. I love talking about philosophy, anthropology, literature, or psychology at parties.

The weirdest thing about me is my sense of humor. One example of that is I made a facebook group where I frequently post pictures of my older brother sleeping. The group has been around for 3 years, and has over 300 members. He has no idea it exists.

My friends would unanimously agree that my ambition is my greatest quality. I always have something going on, whether it's a new acting opportunity, a new video, or an improv show. I have a book buying addiction, and I read a lot of nonfiction books, so they're always impressed by the way I can speak about philosophy, mythology, and history. I love talking about it.

They really hate how I don't know when to stop talking. And that sucks, because I'm really trying to say interesting or funny things, and they unanimously hate it. But they don't deserve to hear my zany hypotheticals and would you rathers anyway.

I am so grateful for my insatiable lust for knowledge. In 2017, I read at least a dozen different non fiction books about philosophy, screenwriting, improv, psychology, semantics, mythology, history, fairy tales, etc.. And now I appreciate that all people are unique and have their own stories. I want to hear them all. I live for the inexplicable parts of life. Like things you can't describe: love, awe, music, dance, beauty. I believe that's why we' exist, and I'm glad I found that.

I am overcoming a long running battle with neurosis. Humans naturally want to organize things. And neurosis is the problem of organizing unrelated events to fit a pre-existing narrative. So, if I see a beautiful woman rush into an elevator and press a button three times, I think it's because she thinks I'm ugly. When in reality, there's no way I can know her motivation, and it doesn't concern me. Every day I strive to love myself more so I don't have to analyze these extraneous events.
