About Me

After this semester, I'll be a 3L at the University of Alabama. I'm also an actress. Need proof? Check me out on imdb...(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2090893/). I worked on a couple of projects in Birmingham this summer. Check out Piece of Cake in my Top 8. I play a Diva Bridezilla (is that redundant?) and Mo Rocca plays my brother and it premiered at the Sidewalk Film Fest in Birmingham and won the Audience Choice Award for the Shorts Division. Hooray! Thanks to everyone who came out to support--y'all ROCK!

I had SUCH a great time at the Fest and will miss all my new friends! Hope to see y'all soon!

Sorry if I'm not responding to messages as quickly as usual--between school and acting, this semester is officially kicking my butt!

I worked on Jason Keener's team in the Scramble (Sidewalk's 48 hour film fest) and it was so fun...here's a pic of me and the renowned director. The most EXCITING thing is that our film, ALL ANGELS HAVE RAT TAILS, won BEST OVERALL (in addition to Best Director (which Keener couldn't have won w/o his ALL STAR CAST!), and Best Editing! Check out the FILM in my MOVIES section!~

The award winning director, Jason Keener:

What else?

I'm sassy and strong, sweet and sincere. I've been through more than people twice my age and I know how tough it can be to pick yourself up and keep going after experiencing loss. That said, it is possible with the help of GREAT FRIENDS, God, and a lot of grit. It ain't easy, that's for sure.

In college I studied literature and I love film because I love stories...whether tragic or fantastic, they are glimpses of life.

I was a cheerleader for Vanderbilt. GO DORES!

I also love great music...all types...

I believe that dreams come true and that age is relative.

I have to admit Birmingham has been a pleasant surprise...tons of creative people, rockin' local bands, and even a sushi restaurant that has ALBACORE--a necessary escape for law school (which sucks the life right out of you).

I don't know exactly where life is taking me, but I'm trying to enjoy the ride (not so easy when you're in law school--too much studying).

One of my biggest pet peeves is when Southerners are played by non-southerners...the accents are ALWAYS BUTCHERED. Why not hire someone who's actually from the SOUTH!?

I haven't come to any concrete conclusions on love...but if you're a control freak--stay away!
