Welcome!

Hi there, a few things about myself: I am originally from North Carolina, but currently live in the wonderful city of Chicago. I have a deep passion for acting, both on stage and on screen, and enjoy every step of the creative process from beginning to end. Creating new stories, developing characters, and bringing them to life for an audience brings me great joy. In addition, my faith is an important part of my life and who I am. I love caring for and teaching the children at my church, splurging on a bag of Cheetos Hot Fries, and if I have some free time, sitting down with a hot cup of tea and a good puzzle.
