Hello! Nice to meet you (well, on TPS anyway)! Like I’m sure many of you are, I’m here to work on turning my passion into my career. I’d be happy to help you on your journey, whether that’s through directly working together, trading advice, being a sounding board, or just talking shop and learning from each other that way! I’m based in Seattle, and willing to travel.

What made me get on to this crazy ride in the first place: I’ve been a pop culture fiend since I was very young, and eventually in my teens and college years, came to find working both on stage/in front of the camera and behind the camera/the scenes to be the most rewarding thing I could do. Then came real life, and needing a day job to pay the bills. And a constant feeling that something was missing from my life – and it wouldn’t go away, no matter what I tried. Sound familiar?

And then, just like that, I took an acting class at Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia (the oldest theatre in the U.S., check it out if you haven’t – it’s a real treasure for any theatre lover or person who appreciates the arts) and I’d found what I’d been missing! And ever since that day, well…I still have my day job. But, I’m also pursuing my dream again: making films, and getting back on this crazy ride for another spin and seeing where it leads me. And that nagging feeling – it’s been replaced by having a purpose, passion, and goals. Though the road feels uncertain much of the time, I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Thanks for checking out my profile, and I wish you every success on your journey, too. Looking forward to connecting!
