I am 21, and grew in Kissimmee, FL although I feel more at home in the mountains of Tennessee where my family vacationed every summer growing up. At the age of nine, my third grade teacher offered our class the opportunity to perform a short skit for the Christmas season which is where I fell in love with acting and all that it entails. (I played an elf as an extra although originally given the part of Ms. Claus.) In the 7th grade, my drama teacher encouraged me to pursue my acting talents, saying I had a real gift for the craft. From there I went on to graduate from a performing arts high school (after two years in a technical one) where I took courses in acting, drama, directing, musical theatre and theatre history. Stage combat and mime workshops were provided within my drama courses, I had a blast learning those skills and would love to learn more.

After graduating from the Osceola County School for the Arts, I took a year off to get myself together and more in the 'mood' (so to speak) for attendance at college. In the fall of 2006, I enrolled in a Student Life Skills course at the community college in my area, and began attending Cornerstone Church with my friend from high school, a friend who quickly became my best friend. After taking another semester off in the spring of 2007, I decided to give college another try, this time as a full-time student living in a dormitory at Trinity College of Florida.

In the spring of 2008, I started dealing with a lot of letdowns and disappointments about my college experience. Trinity College just wasn't/isn't the place for me, and I initially opted to attempt a transfer to IADT in Tampa to study fashion design having a keen interest in the field. Having been accepted to IADT, I began the process of transferring credits and financial information, however my struggles with the financial aid department left me to wonder where I truly belonged. After a few weeks of prayer, and research into some other options, God has reminded me to return to my love of acting. In the past week I have been inspired to create a resume and search for legit talent agents in my area, of which I have found but have yet to apply for consideration.

I have a background in ballet, tap, jazz, modern and hip-hop dancing, and would love to get back into it when given the opportunity. I took ballet for 10 years (ages 4-14), tap for 2 years, jazz for 3 years, modern for 1 year, and hip-hop for 1 year.

I have performed in class venues, performing two monologues from a book of monologues for actors, a Shakespeare sonnet, and Edgar Allen Poe's poem, The Raven. I was also a cast member of the school's Storybook Theatre troupe in 2005, where I had small parts in the Bremen Town Musicians, Robber Bridegroom, and The Golden Goose. (These credits can be found on my resume.)

I was also a dancer/singer for the song of "Ease on Down the Road" from the musical, The Wiz, in the Leggz Dance Academy dance recital in 2002.

Love furthering my knowledge of Jehovah's Witness beliefs, cross-stitching, watching movies and hanging out with friends.
