Acting Resume
For 2003-2006 I was actively involved in community theatre in the South Bay.

Since 2007 I have been undergoing Meisner Technique training with Jim Jarrett and studying film acting at the San Francisco School of Digital Film Making.

After Jim's "The Business of Your Dream" class I will be looking for an agent and going pro.
