I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a 24 year old female. I was born in Salt Lake City, UT. I lived there until I was 18, and then I went to college at American University in Washington, D.C. where I majored in theater arts and minored in political science. I then studied at TVI Actors Studio in New York for a three week intensive, which was incredible! Right now I am back in Utah working on an acting career and studying here. I am now heading to South Africa on Feb. 21st until December 7th to teach drama and work with the kids at the Themba Trust. I am SUPER excited! This will be an experience I will NEVER forget!

What Your Latte Says About You
When it comes to what you like, you have your own unique tastes. And people don't really understand them.

You are a very frivolous person. You don't take anything too seriously. Why should you?

Intense and energetic, you aren't completely happy unless you are bouncing off the walls.

You're addicted to caffeine. There's no denying it.

You are responsible, mature, and truly an adult. You're occasionally playful, but you find it hard to be carefree.

You are deep and thoughtful, but you are never withdrawn. What Does Your Latte Say About You? ..

You Should Be an Actor
You have a flair for the dramatic, and you probably already do a lot of acting in your day to day life, just to entertain yourself.
No need to steal the spotlight from your friends... You'll get plenty of attention once you start acting professionally! What Sort of Artist Should You Be?
