Hello! Welcome to my page! Here’s a bit about me.

I was born in Mobile, Alabama on a cold December night. Smack dab in the middle of a bunch of siblings, I’ve had my fair share of fighting for attention. From the tender age of 5, I was bitten by the acting bug. I’ve always loved to entertain and would re-enact scenes from shows or even soap operas that I would watch with my babysitters. I mastered the one woman show as a child.

Growing up in the South, I learned a lot about what was “acceptable” and what wasn’t. Being an actor, at least from my family’s point of view, was not acceptable. Growing up lower- middle class, my dreams were put on the back burner so we could have food on the table and a roof over our heads. But, the dream of being an actor was still in my heart.

At 17 years old, after a tumultuous upbringing, I moved out on my own. That same year, I took a trip to New York City. It was the first time I’d ever been to New York, or even on a plane for that matter! But, when I arrived, I knew, I was home. it’s still a feeling I can’t really explain, but it’s never gone away. I was meant to live there. After returning from my trip, my fire was reignited and I began to consider pursuing acting as a career. But, at that point in my life, I wasn’t brave enough. So, I went to college and majored in Journalism. I thought this would be a good fit for me since I love to write and it deals with the media, which is a huge part of the acting world. I was wrong. After two years I realized this is not the career for me, but not wanting to throw away the two years I had already invested, I finished out the degree program, receiving my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Journalism in December 2012.

What happened in those two years to help me come to the realization you ask? A boyfriend at the time surprised me with tickets to see Wicked off Broadway. It was INCREDIBLE. I was forever changed. And so was my life. I graduated college, moved to Washington D.C. and began taking acting classes and working full time but still longing to be in the big city, pursuing my acting career, not just making it into a hobby. So, after 7 YEARS of making excuses, I started applying to acting schools in New York. I had visited New York numerous times and always left feeling like there was a piece of me missing. I applied to the Atlantic Acting School in December 2018 at age 29 and was accepted! Now, was the time for my life to begin again.

And, now, here we are. After surviving what has been one of the hardest years of my life, I’m still here. Still fighting, still dreaming, still kicking ass and taking names. All while living, working, thriving, and being a slave to my adorable cats in the city I call home, New York. I made it. And so did you! Thanks for coming on this journey with me!
