Acting on Experience

I began my acting career at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. After graduation, I transferred to Metro State University for my Bachelor's degree, where I became President of a acting group Theater Underground. 

For the last year, I have been writing a play called Secrets.  Secrets is a true story of the spiraling events that took place over a lifetime, and that culminated in the assault, and incarceration and finally a redemption. Stage reading December 2nd, 2019 at Whitney Fine Arts Building 1424 Yale PL. Park Square Theater February 27-28, 2020. To hear more of what I am up to, follow me on social media.

I act both on stage and screen. I am also available for speaking events. I currently co-facilitate a mentoring group at Goodwill Easter Seals. Where I have spoke  for Mid-West Coalition on Poverty, Minnesota Second Chance Coalition and Department of Corrections. I have also participated in readings with Wonderlust Theatre. Please see my resumé for the details of my experience and skills. 

Fundraising will begin May 1-31
