"A friend once lent me $300 so I could move back to LA from South Carolina. I remember telling my mom that I'd rather be homeless in LA than continue working at Waffle House and being mediocre."

My Dream Is To Be In An Action Movie (but my knee hurts)

So where did I come from? Originally West Germany, then Biloxi, Mississippi where I remember our family as a bizarre version of The Cosby Show (if it were a military family). This is a whole thing… let’s save it for later.

The saga really started when we moved to Columbia, South Carolina. I spent the rest of my grade school years there while sticking out like a sore thumb. I mean, I can do the dialect but I had bigger dreams than just serving tables at Waffle House. So I high-tailed it out of there as soon as I could after High School graduation. 

I moved to California in 2003 to study at the Brooks Institute of Photography, where I studied film photography. Not long after that I reluctantly decided to study Theatre Arts Santa Barbara City College.

I made the move to Los Angeles some time later to pursue my passion for acting and immerse myself in the heart of the entertainment industry.

Around 2012, I found myself working full-time at a toy store, taking acting classes, and doing as much “sh!t theatre” as possible.

My secret talent was revealed the day I attended an open mic, where I stood on stage and talked about  the comedic tragedy that is my life.

The rest is HerStory.
