Life’s no dress rehearsal. You get one shot at it baby, make it good!

About Me

I am an actress and a dancer who sings. I am working on a MFA degree and will graduate in about a year. I am sincere, selfless, sensitive, and the people in my life are as generous as I am. My friends and family can tell you that what you see is what you get with me. I care about social justice and prefer to surround myself with people who see the world in a similar way. Most of all I love people, especially ones with a sense of humor. Your first impression of me might be that I am too serious, but you soon find out it just ain’t true. I am pretty straight forward, not the blogger type, though I really enjoy reading them. I have two beautiful kitty kats and a sweetie that I love more than I do anything.
