Opening Reflections

I have taken myself on a journey of self discovery through many career trajectories and mediums and along the way my identity has grown and evolved. Each path I have chosen has acted as a stepping stone, revealing new aspects of myself and allowing me to gain deeper insights into my passions, strengths, and values.This website is a reflection of my growth and motivation to work towards more meaningful goals.


The Genesis of the Website

Your digital footprint plays a crucial role in shaping the identity that others associate with you. This website was created to take control of my own digital identity and footprint. By being raw and open through blogging and an open CV, I hope to attract the right people into my space to help me elevate towards accomplishing my goals


Life as an Actor

I discovered acting in high school during my first drama class. With each exercise our drama teacher assigned, I gained confidence and uncovered new aspects of myself. This experience not only developed into a passion for the art of acting but also a love for self-discovery through it. The idea of balance in acting alongside other experiences is crucial for developing more skills in the art of acting. To enhance character development and analyze scenes effectively, you need tangible experiences and a diverse array of emotional experiences to draw upon.


Building Connections

I consistently strive to foster connections with others while on set and in my class workshops to cultivate a sense of community within the acting industry. Recently, I've formed a tight-knit group of acting friends where we support one another by sharing audition opportunities, assisting with audition tapings, and providing mental and emotional support throughout the journey of successes and setbacks.


Achievements and Milestones

The past year has been my most successful so far, as I stepped out of my comfort zone and pushed myself to delve deeper into advanced acting techniques. I found myself auditioning more frequently and accepting more opportunities that came my way.

Receiving my IMDb credits was incredibly motivating, pushing me to aim for larger goals. My ultimate ambition is to secure a speaking role in a Hallmark movie one day.


Lessons Learned Along the Way

The hacking and subsequent closure of my LinkedIn profile served as a turning point for me in how I present myself online and leverage the digital space to promote my skills and ambitions for future opportunities.

Having a growth mindset and being willing to pivot are crucial for evolution. Every setback is actually an opportunity for creative growth and innovation.



Conclusion

This website serves as a source of inspiration and as a way to establish my digital identity, aiming to create future growth opportunities, particularly in my acting and modeling career path. I'm undertaking this journey not only for myself but also to share my story to inspire others as they navigate their own paths.
