When my friend told me in fifth grade that she wanted to be an actress in the movies, that was when my dream of being an actress started (believe it or not). Before I was 11, I never even knew an ordinary girl like me could ever appear in videos, commercials, movies, etc. From that day on, I dreamt of appearing in acting projects, but it wasn't until I was 13 that I decided to take action on making my dream come true. I found myself a great, on-camera teacher here in the Twin Cities, and then took my first acting class, which also had young people like me wanting to be actors.  I knew that if I wanted to be a working actress, I had to make a move to get myself there. 

Although acting has definitely not been easy, I still continue on working toward my dream of being a successful actress and being able to make a living off of it. I know that if I work hard and never give up, I can not only make my dreams but also my 11 year old self's dream come true.
