Hello World! I am a 31 year old person who has been attempting a career in acting, singing, and dancing for the past 13 years. I have lived in New York and Los Angeles. I’ve had about every part time job imaginable in addition to the occasional job in my field of pursuit. An original dropout, I came to the decision a few years ago that the reason I was not working was because I had not studied musical theater in college. The past 2 years of my life has been spent in one of the most miserable institutions on earth, Five Towns College, learning nothing. I am now 31. I have not put on a pair of ballet slippers in over a year and a half, I’ve barely read from a script, and the last time I was on the stage was last April in my college production of The Full Monty. Oh, and I’m also now $40,000 in student loan debt! I have never felt good enough, pretty enough, skinny enough to make it as an actress, but every time I try something different, my path is steered back this way. I’ve been a massage therapist, a personal assistant, a waitress, a bartender, a barista, a receptionist, and of course…a sales associate. The bottom line is, performing is my passion and my dream, and if you’ve ever seen Fame you will know: “When you give up your dream, you die.” In blogging about my experiences and course of action I hope to gain support, advice , and insight on what I am doing and how I can do It better.
