Life has a way of sneaking up on you. Life has a way of seamlessly slipping in moments of unbearable joy and adorning it with moments of gripping hurt. So much has happened in the two years that have passed between these photos. In the spirit of sharing this journey with you, I figure this is a beautiful opportunity to share some of these milestones…so, here goes.

In these past two years I have:

• Signed with Madison Square Management
• Booked my first lead role in a play
• Landed my first article
• Received my first Helen Hayes nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Play
• Lost my first Helen Hayes nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Play
• Premiered my very first feature film as lead
• Quit acting and took on a full time teaching position 
• Got cast in my first Musical
• Sold my first art piece
• Traveled to Puerto Rico with the love of my life
• Separated from the love of my life
• Reconnected with my therapist
• Acquired my very first reel thanks to two amazing artists friends
• Designed and launched a website on my own 
• Fell out with a good friend
• Booked my first gig that would require me to be flown out
• Lost a mentor that meant the world to me
• Traveled to CA for the first time (FOR WORK)
• Experienced and overcame major reproductive health issues
• Took a plane on my own
• Had my car broken into
• Negotiated an equity contract
• Moved back home with family to start over

I know those are way more things than you asked for, but I really wanted to share. My career has so many glamorous perks, my life has so many beautiful thrills. With that though there are also so many difficult moments. Many days where breathing feels just as difficult as walking water. I am so grateful for all of the battles I’ve fought, for the friends that have helped warrior up when I didn’t have the strength, to the universe for always guiding me back to my power. Change is a petrifying thing, failure is inevitable and thankfully…hope is infinite. Thank you all for going on this journey with me, I have more love for you than the world’s got air.
