About me

I love all art. My whole family is musical, so I've been singing and playing piano since sound could escape me and I could wiggle my fingers. Anything creative that could follow did from ceroc, to competitive speech, to crochet. I started acting when I was 3 and ever since, it has been my first love. Studying first in the US, I received a top education in a renowned arts district from my high school in the Chicago area where I participated in 15 extra curricular performance activities. I continued with a performing arts degree which included a working internship and a second degree from Disneyland University in California. When I got back, I worked for Lush to put me through the rest of my degree while I finished my calc, biology, and psychology courses. I gained a real love and respect for herbalogy and psychology and how one could connect with another soul and heal it. More than anything, I wanted to do that with art as I did it with plants and chatter. A well rounded education is very important to me and something I knew I needed to attain in the states, but I made the most of my dual citizenship by gaining a vocational honors degree in acting next from Bath Spa University. Since then, I've done a documentary, worked quite a bit in the research and development of projects coming to Bath, taught kids for Stagecoach, created and executed classes for Bath Mind, and worked more closely with young musicians who are looking to bring a more dramatic element to their projects, be that a live performance or music video. I'm currently focusing more on television and film.
Additional skills:

Too many arts to list. if it might be described as artistic, I probably do it or have done it at some point.
