South Florida is an interesting place to grow up. Luckily, I was able to figure out how to do it with my mom, dad, and twin brother by my side. There are many people with many different backgrounds, and it allows me to learn something new from everyone that I meet. The performing arts is a career that has always interested me. Most people are put into classes by their parents, but few continue past middle school. Because of acting, I have noticed that I am very creative in making decisions. I am also strong at communicating with anyone and everyone, and I am open to trying new things! After realizing that this could be a career, I wasted no time and immediately researched the industry. I got headshots, an agent, and book jobs I didn't even audition for! I have already been accepted into the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. Earning scholarships will allow me to continue to attend. The media has the biggest impact on our world; it impacts how we think and react to everyday circumstances. I want a little African-American girl to look on her television screen and feel seen and heard in her country. The ultimate goal is to go to school for this career, learn as much as possible, meet as many people as possible, and inspire little girls that look just like me.
