About me

I'm a very creative individual who loves making an impact on people's lives. Films, dance, music has changed my life so drastically and made me think differently about the world and the way I see it, that I can only hope to inspire other people through the work I do. I love being other people than myself and putting myself in other people's shoes. I think it's one of the greatest aspects of performing and teaches us how to respect and be kind to the variety of people that inhabit this earth. I love pleasing others and putting a smile or even a frown on an audience member's face. I just want people to do something we are often afraid of doing and that is: to feel.
Additional skills:

Additional information:
I've always loved performing since I was a young age. My first experience with performance was through dance. I danced in a variety of styles with a Rythum Plus dance company for 10 years (I don't have experience with ballroom dance, but I'm an avid watcher of Dancing with the Stars and the styles are ones I'm interested in learning). Once I reached high school I delved into singing, drama and musical theatre. I was in a few school productions, and that was where I found my niche. After I graduated, I took a break from school and worked a full-time retail job until realizing performing was how I wanted to provide for myself. But I needed to "really" learn how to act - not the acting you learn in drama class. I took a 16 month express course through Seneca at York.
