I grew up in Caledonia, which is a small farm town about 20 minutes outside of Rochester, New York. After high school I went to SUNY Brockport and received a Bachelor's degree in Theatre and Music. Shortly after I moved to New York City in pursuit of my dreams and my next big step towards independence! Well the independence part turned out all well and good... The acting/singing has been somewhat of a challenge. Just the cost of living in NYC has kept me working non-stop at all sorts of jobs. Most of them being in the restaurant industry, though I did have a week long stint as a hand model! True story! I would spend 50+ hours some weeks at dead end jobs just to pay the rent, and in the little free time I had, I would not want to spend it preparing for auditions or emailing casting directors. So okay, it was time to reevaluate. I wanted to do something with my life that I enjoyed, and also that would give me a chance to have a normal life one day! You know... family, dog, picket fence, the whole shebang.
So what is it I enjoy? My entire life I've had three big passions:
The Performing Arts
Ever since I can remember I've been participating in theatre groups around the community. I love to sing and will do so often.
The Environment
Growing up surrounded by fields and forest on all sides with an Environmental Police Officer for a father and an Elementary Science Program Developer for a mother... let's just say I know my foliage. I love our planet and firmly believe that if I can do anything during my time here to help preserve it, it would be an enormous victory for me.
Technology
I'm always fascinated by the inner workings and various applications of the new technology that the millennial generation has grown up alongside. Every time a new gadget comes out, I want to read about it. Lately, I love spending my free time sitting in front of the PS4 slaying mad dragons.
Coding had always been something I was hesitant to delve into, however I've found that there truly is potential here for me to do something with my life that I hold a true passion for. Of course there are other things I'm passionate about too! Honorable Mentions: Snowboarding, Cooking, Reading, Soccer, Running, and my cat (though if she knew she only made honorable mention there would be hell to pay so mum's the word!)
