i'm an actress, perry, an actress!

About Me

Graduated from McGill in Montréal this april after 3 years in Italian and Biochem, and now my sites are solely set on acting. I start at the Playhouse in NYC this fall and am bursting at the seams to get started. It's been one hell of a ride, and it's only getting better. yeeeeeeeeehaw.

I also have a website that I built and love, but which I have not edited in quite some time, whoops. i'll get back into the swing of things when i'm not so busy. oh wait. i'm always this busy. hm.
