About me
I'm an actress working in New York City. I am available for non-union acting jobs and print modeling in the 5 boroughs. I have a bachelor's degree in Theatre and have experience with straight plays and musicals, as well as commercials and music videos. Hoping to do films next. Contact me for more info.
I am represented non-exlusively by Envy Casting and Chelsea Talent in New York City.
My family lives in NJ near Asbury Park and I am often in that area, so don't be afraid to contact me if you're in Jersey either.
REGARDING TRADE VS. PAY
I prefer to shoot on weekends, but I can be flexible IF I'M BEING PAID. Rates vary based on the project but I'm sure you'll find them reasonable. In general, TF* on weekends, paid shoots whenever. Also, I REALLY appreciate it when when I'm compensated for travel for TFCD. I understand photographers have a lot of expenses too and respect that, but I'm broke.

Credits
I started modeling in 2006 and since then I've done a lot of TF* work and got tearsheets from NJ Bride Magazine and pictures in an art gallery. I've done promotional modeling for Hawaiian Tropic, Sun Labs, Giselle Cosmetics, and Glamorous Glo Tanning (even though I'm blindingly white I do look good with a spray tan!). I've also done commercials, but that straddles the line between acting and modeling.

Hello, you have great pics and I am very interested in working with you. I have an opportunity to help you expand if your serious about your career. I work with a wonderful team out of LA and am also represented by them. We also have offices in DC and are expanding our Philly office. Every artist needs a press kit to present to agencies, managers, projects etc. This is what you use as your resume to book jobs. They have personally prepared my press kit and I am now beginning filming for Lifetime network. We also have done press kits for Vivica Fox, Melissa Ford, Megan Fox, Bill Bellamy and many others you see on TV every day. If you are interested please message me and I can send you the link to view my press kit and answer any questions you have.
Thanks and may God bless you with success
