Teen Years

I have always been resposible & hardworking. When I Was in 8th grade my mom couldn’t buy me things, so I went & got myself a job @ Marketbasket as a cashier. At the age of seventeen,I bought myself a toyota corolla. I always been independent & a gogetter, I don’t sit around & wait for people to do things for me. I am not afraid of trying new things in life i love challenges, i like going after things that are hard to have & If I have to go to the other side of the world & get it, I would.  When I entered high school every one wanted to be my friend, I mean i wasn’t fat anymore I had lost weight & was looking sexy and developing pretty fast. My freshman year I wanted to be in the mix so i would go to the house jams, you know the best music was back in “89″. I got popular, By my junior year I was really deferent & had a certain style to me. Everyone talked about the way I dressed. I was always in Boston partying because alway felt like I dindn’t belong there. People would always say that i was weird,I was always the talk of town.If I dated a guy the whole town knew it the next day. Girls did not like me for no reason. When time when I was 18 i was driving home & these 4 girls from school followed me to my house & when I got out of the car jumped me, luckily that my mom was looking out the window & ran out to help me. If i dated a guy he would say that he slept with me, i mean i lost my virginity when i was 19 years old com’n! I always knew that i belonged somewhere else, but since i was trapped in that little town, i would get wright sucked back in, hanging with my friends going to the malls, clubs…. it was a routine, I dind’t know what i was going to do when i graduated from high school. I just knew that i had to go to college but didn’t evern know what to major in. I graduated from Lawrence High School Attended Northern Essex Community college & there i took a class in Theatre. I new that I wanted to do it but din’t know how to begin & put it past me. I knew that the wright thing was to work in an office & thats what i went for. At the time I got pregnant had a beautiful son. After my son was 9months I became single & had to work evern harder in Life. I had to do something in my life & be  a role model to my son. Even though I have always had a swagger to me, i have also had insecurities that i have had to overcome.I have always tried to stay positive in life even through the dificult times.I wanted & needed something more in life but i did not know how to begin. This is where my journey as an actor begins. I was working at  a company called Norell Services a staffing company as a secretary, a young man by the name of bill walks in, he is talking about how he just did background work on a film called Carlito’s Way starring Al Pacino In New York City. All I remember my brain opening saying I want to do this. I asked bill that how he found out about the auditions, he said that in New York there is this newspaper that comes out everyweek on the newstands called Backstage. I went to Boston Harvard square newstand, picked up the casting newsletter & the rest is history.
