About Me

Anyway, about me! I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California where I attended Castle Heights Elementary School. It was here I discovered my love for acting after my drama teacher gave me the role of a lion who didn't speak English. Having to improvise words that I didn't understand peaked my curiosity and sparked my enthusiasm for acting, so I decided to continue out of school and do theater and drama lessons. I then went on to attend Palisades High School for a short while, but after realising I wanted to take acting seriously I left in the tenth grade to be home schooled, enabling me to attend auditions for movies, music videos and commericals over the next few years. After many auditions I found myself getting parts in music videos. One of my first was Snoop Doggs "From Tha Chuuuch To Tha Palace" in 2002. After some more auditions I gained leading parts in a few other music videos, two of the most memorable being Pharrells "Frontin" video and Snoops "Drop It Like Its Hot". Since then I was approached to do more music videos, and my resume now includes videos by top artists such as Ludacris, Tyrese, Young Gunz & T.I. Most of 2002-2004 was spent auditioning for everything and anything. Some successful, and some not, but my passion for acting only became stronger. I got parts in commercials for Diet Coke and Nike, and even starred in the sitcom "Everybody Hates Chris", but I still longed for my "big break". I was beginning to give up hope of it ever happening when I heard about a new movie "ATL" which was being directed by Chris Robinson. There was a real buzz about it in LA, so I knew I had to be involved. I knew Chris' assitant, Carl Reed, and asked him if he could get me an audition. Thankfully he did, so I studied for the role, spent like my last hundred dollars on coaching, and finally arrived at the audition two hours later. I had to beg Chris for the audition, and he agreed, so I was estatic when I found out I got the part, cause I thought I had blew my chance. Since "ATL" i've been reaaaal busy. I have started studying with Michael Wilson and started classes in psychology to aid my personal growth as an actress. My plans for college are on hold while I pursue my dream, and believe me - this is only the beginning! .I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
