About
My earliest memory of wanting to act (or maybe it was my mother’s) was sitting in front of the television, pointing and saying to my mother, “ I want to be on there!” And the rest was history. I’ve been acting for twelve years now and I’ve just recently graduated from The Conservertory of Theatre Arts at Webster University with a BFA in Acting, with Honors. I started acting at a community theatre in my hometown of New Orleans at the age of 12 and went on to join the Theatre Dept. at McDonogh #35 Senior High as well as audition for New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA). While attending both high schools, I learned the teachings of Uta Hagen, August Wilson, Tennessee Williams, William Shakespeare, and so much more. Upon graduating from both schools, I studied acting at Webster University, where I studied the teachings of Shakespeare, Stanislavsky, Arthur Miller, and the list goes on. So as far as being trained, especially classically? I’ve got you covered. New Years 2017, I moved here to Atlanta and have been pursuing film and television, as well as as performing on stage whenever given the chance. Since moving here, I’ve booked my first tv speaking role, done countless indie films, a few web series and plays, associate produced a play, and I’m also proud to be the winner of the first Rep Your Act! acting competition. This is all to say, I’m just getting started and would love to share and exercise the tools I’ve acquired so we can grow together!
