About Me

I'm in Los Angeles and I'm going to be in movies! I moved here from NYC in June 2007. I drove across the country all by myself! It was awesome. I tap dance. I like to blog. I found all my LA jobs on Craigslist. I like to sing. I'm funny. I like to drive with the windows rolled down. On the weekends I'm a clown and a princess for birthday parties. I have a super cute boyfriend. I love watching improv. I live in Hollywood and I can see the Hollywood sign from my bedroom windows. I love my friends. I like playing card games with my sisters and my dad. I drive a 2001 silver Honda Civic and I love it. I love to laugh. I can do the robot...my version. I like decorating cakes. I want a puppy for one day. I want to master languages. I miss New York City. I want to visit Chicago. I have three sisters and two nieces, two brothers-in-law, and lots of other people in my family.
