BIO
Well, well, well....Hello There!
Fancy meeting you here! Take off your shoes and make yourself comfy and cozy, while I briefly tell you about myself in hopes that I won't bore you to tears.
After years of competing in gymnastics, I decided to hang up the ol' leotard (or onesie....call it what you will) and follow my passion for performing arts.
I received my BFA in Acting from Northern Kentucky University, which is where I discovered my undying love for improv! So, what did I do after graduation?... Go to the ridiculously Artic climate, but oh so lovely city, of Chicago to train at Improv Olympic. I absolutely loved every minute of my training in Chicago, but I still had a craving that could no longer go unnoticed. I wanted to learn the intricate techniques of acting and explore any and all uncharted territory on stage and in film. Sooo.... off to graduate school I went!
I am so proud to say that in June 2012, I graduated with my Masters in Performing Arts with an emphasis in Acting from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA.
Upon graduation, I have jumped headfirst- no parachute, no backups, no safety nets- into the exciting world of professional acting. That's right... I file my tax return as a professional actor now! Sorry Mom, no medical or law degree's for me. It's just me, taking on the rest of the world, one booking at a time.
