"None of us suddenly becomes something overnight. The preparations have been in the making for a lifetime.- Gail Goodwin


Though 2009 brought me some wonderful opportunities I am more than ready to step into 2010 and all that it will bring! I've deemed 2010 "The Year of the Hustle" so instead of New Year's Resolutions I've decided to create my Top Ten Goals as well as an Action Plan to help me attain them.
    2010 Career Goals
  1. Live a healthier lifestyle
  2. Land a Commercial Agent
  3. Become SAG-Eligible
  4. Get listed on IMDB
  5. Book a national commercial
  6. Land a Manager
  7. Land a Theatrical Agent
  8. Book a co-star credit
  9. Book a lead role in an indy, short or student film
  10. Develop vocal strength/stamina

  • Dec: Send thank-you notes/gifts to those who've booked me, referred me, etc. during the second half of the year
  • Create goals & action plan for 2011!

Some may consider these goals lofty or unrealistic but those are the people who obviously don't know me or the way I operate. Tell me I can't do something and watch it get done just to prove to you that I can. But I'm not fooling myself, reaching these goals will require a huge amount of focus & persistence on my part as well as FAVOR on God's.


As I wrote on twitter & facebook today, I'm ready to embrace all that 2010 will bring with those who have loved, supported and encouraged me along the way. Happy New Year my friends!


Hey guys,

It's been a minute but I'm back. I hope everyone's holiday season has been treating you well thus far. I, for one, can't complain as I booked an industrial recently that was right on time money-wise and have had more auditions this month than ever before. I don't know if it's because everyone else has left town or if my momentum is just beginning to kick in but either way, I'll take it.

I've already begun to list my goals for 2010 as well as the actions I plan to take to help myself achieve them. I plan to share those with you and the rest of the universe very soon.

Until then, may you all have a very Merry Christmas and remember Jesus is the reason for the season. :-)

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today will be spent eating lots of delicious, fattening foods and watching movies I love- Moulin Rouge & Chicago are at the top of that list since I'm in a musical mood right now. Normally I have a party but since I haven't made too many friends out here yet it'll just be me and the family this time around.

And yes I'm supposed to be shooting a film right now but things aren't going quite as planned so we'll see what happens with that. In the meantime, happy birthday to moi!


Catch my latest audition escapades over at Unscripted. Funny enough, the last two have both been for the role of a mistress. The first was for a play and didn't go so well but the second one just landed me a role in my first feature film. Woo-hoo!
