Through acting, I have learned a great deal about myself from the lives of the characters I study and play. I have gained the understanding that many possibilities influence factors that motivate a person to make a given series of decisions, without judgement. This has molded me into a more empathetic human being. Through the stories I share, I wish to ignite the spark of empathy in others. I feel a nurturing connection with the stories that cross my path, their characters, fellow performers, and my community.
