About Me

Myspace Contact Tables Layout Created at Mspremade.comHello to all. My name is spelled with an i but is pronounced Tonjala. Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I migrated to southern California to pursue a passion for acting. Being a gemini, I believe I have many facets that can take me far in Hollywood. I know I share a dream that so many have, but I have the drive to go with it. Since moving here 4 years ago, I have met many people with the same aspirations. I have gained a great deal of knowledge and wisdom from them. My current occupation is that of a nurse. That will definitely come in handy when I make an appearance on ER and Grey's Anatomy (smile). I am a huge fan of films from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Some of my favorite films are: "His Girl Friday" starring Cary Grant and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" starring Audrey Hepburn. The admiration I have for the art of acting has been with since childhood. I hope to meet those with a similar interest. Where ever my journey takes me in my pursuit, I know it will not be a boring one. Wish me luck!!!
