About Me
Acting/Talent Experience:
I played bass and sang backup in a band for 5 years.
Am I affiliated with unions?:
No
A major event in my life was:
Having a rough childhood my mother gave up custody of me to my aunt at 16. It was something I did not want but had no choice. I love my aunt and my family but at the time I was not ready to have my life turn upside down. I would have to say that was one of the major events in my life that made a difference in how it turned out. I changed and my life changed.
The accomplishment I am most proud of:
When I graduated in 2006 with my BFA I was happy to end my 7 years of school. I moved a lot during my teen years so I attended 3 different high schools and 3 different colleges after that. It was a very long and hectic road but I finally finished up at NJCU. Most of my years there I was on the Deans List which I am very proud of as well. My BFA show was yet another great accomplishment for me. My work for the show took about 3 years to finalize and to see it all come together was a dream.
