About Me

I'm an actor/singer/mover from Chicago. I looooove to travel! One of my goals is to visit all 50 states by the time I'm 30. I hope to move to either Tokyo or Hong Kong for at least a few months sometime within the next 2 years. I'm unique (weird) and proud of it. I'm that girl that lets you merge on the highway. I'm superstitious. I tap dance while waiting in lines. I don't eat purple foods. I've got a good head on my shoulders but my thoughts are in the clouds. I have a stuffed animal named Sniffles. He is a panther who accompanies me on all my random adventures and auditions. I also love kids. This comes in handy since I used to work for Disneyworld. Hmmm, what else should I say...I love Italian food, my favorite color is "stoplight pastel green", I am a plethora of useless supernatural knowledge, and I'm the type of person that looks for answers in life in my bowl of alphabet spaghetti O's.
