“Acting lights me up. Always has. In 2020, my financial woes forced me to take a full time job as a HS teacher to pay off my debt. I had to step back from acting. I felt defeated, empty. Why did it hit me so hard? I hadnβt surrounded myself with a dedicated, hard-working community who shared my ambition and love for the craft. Then, Audrey and Jesse, you came into my life and showed me community is alive and kicking. In the past three years, yes, teaching has taken up much of my time, but in all my spare time Iβve shot two one-man feature films during a pandemic, paid off my debt, and learned what it really takes to perservere in this business. Itβs time for me to jump back into the business of acting with newfound wisdom and fervor. Audrey, thank you, thank you, thank you for finding your gifts and sharing them with the world. Keep shining that bright light of yours and donβt forget your towel to wipe the sweat from your brow from all your hard work. BOOK IT!”
