I grew up in a small town in Texas, and knew at 12 years old that I wanted to be a performer. Bless my momma’s heart, may she rest in peace, she didn’t know how to guide me to the professional world, but she did the best she could. I had all the training our money could buy. I went to school for Dance, Singing, Acting, and I even earned a degree in Dance all before I moved to New York City bright eyed and positive NYC had been waiting for my arrival! 

Then rent was due. Class was expensive. How do I get auditions? OH GOD, that dingy apartment can’t be where this audition is. Also, why can’t I even get seen? Where is my footage indy/student filmmaker? Or even EWW…I can’t use that on my demo! UGH! That was 10 years of my career. Feeling like I was in this whirlwind trying to get my footing in a business that is so very slippery. 

It wasn’t until I was encouraged to take control of my career did my life actually turn around. I produced my first short film, Mimi’s Misadventure, using money my mother had left me, and suddenly I picked up some momentum…I was auditioning! I produced more short films, and even a little web series, and boom big features started booking. All within 3 years I was acting with John Travolta, Brendan Frasier, Ron Perlman, & David Gyasi. I was on Netflix, Hulu & Amazon and I even earned a Emmy Nomination! My career has been quite a journey, and it’s not over yet!
