Hi there! I'm an actress in the awesome city of Austin. I've been in the biz on and off since 2001 and so much has changed since my last 'on' a few years ago. I took a break from pursuing the dream to have a kiddo and now that the timing is right I think it's time to get back in the game.
This blog was started to help fellow aspiring actors get a head start, this is the blog I wish I had when I started over a decade ago, I hope it helps at least 1 person make their dreams come true. In this blog I will try to focus on the business aspect of acting, finding great resources for actors across Texas, and other aspects of being a real person. I have many other aspirations other than acting in theater and film and look forward to sharing life hacks that will make your life easier. If you have any questions leave a comment below. If I don't know the answer we will find out together 🙂
Break a leg!
