One of the first lessons I learned in acting was to always "hit your mark, look the other actor in the eye and tell the truth." Whether I am on stage in a community theatre or on the set of a high-budget, feature film, I build my performance on that quest to tell the truth, whether it's one line or the lead. Even between projects, I strive to absorb the most out of life as I can, never knowing when it will help add another dimension to my next performance. I am extremely dedicated and focused for my work. My passion to take on the next project knows no boundaries. I will put as much into a role for a non-paying student film as I do for a SAG commercial principal role. It's the art, not the money or fame, that drives me. A quote that I live by is "If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it!"
