I was born in Detroit, MI but moved to Reisterstown, MD at the age of four. Even though I mostly grew up in Maryland, I still consider Michigan to be my true home. I go back every summer and I feel more welcome there than anywhere else.

I come from a very artistic family. My mother is an artist and designs Christmas decorations for major shopping centers and casinos. My father is a carpenter and has his own company that installs Christmas decorations for major shopping centers and casinos. There is never an instance where they work together. But that’s not all the art in my family. My grandfather was a painter and an architect. My aunt is an interior designer. And I, myself, am a make up artist, actor, and singer.

I went to Mercy High School in Baltimore, MD where I participated in the theatre program. That is where I found my love for theatre and make up artistry. Obviously, the two go hand-in-hand.

When I was applying to school, my parents were limiting me to schools in Maryland. I didn’t really like any of the colleges that were around so I was just going to go to community college for two years. Then, I was going to save money to pay my own way to an out of state school. I realized that community college wasn’t for me and neither was staying in state. My parents finally agreed and we looked at different schools. My first choice was Drew University in New Jersey. It was too expensive and there was no way we could have afforded it so I didn’t even bother applying. One of my best friends from high school goes to Marymount and she told me to look at it. I did and I’m very glad she talked me into it. So far, I love it here.

I’m someone who loves to get involved. I was very involved in my high school and I was even the president of our drama club. I hope to be able to reach a leadership position by my senior year. After Marymount, I want to go to beauty school. My dream is to open my own hair salon and have my own line of make up and hair products.
