Fun Facts

I love to sing and have been singing in school choirs, in church, and with a private voice teacher for 7 years.

I am an enormous movie, TV, and music buff. Some might say I have the music taste of a 50-year-old man, but I'd say my taste is very eclectic; if I like the way a song sounds, I listen.

About Me

I am currently a Junior studying acting in the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. I intend to graduate in December of 2012 with a BFA in Drama and a minor in Law and Society.
