About Me
Actor, Writer, Director, Producer, mainly of the comedy type
I have a BA in Writing and Producing for television from Columbia College Chicago
I studied Meisner Technique in NYC for 2 years after high school, I then went on to Chicago where I got back to my first love, comedy. I became very involved with the improv and sketch scene which led me to go back to college where I studied TV writing and from there I developed and wrote my own TV pilots as well as spec scripts.
Currently I'm learning more about the technical side of production such as video lighting, editing and sound so I can make my own projects look more professional, as sometime bad sound ect can take a viewer out of an otherwise funny idea or script.
Fun fact: I'm also a trained makeup artist and aesthetician (bikini wax anyone?)
I'm on that hustle like everyone else!
