So basically I'm a 28 year old mental person. I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania called Shenandoah. Their claims to fame are coal mining, Mrs. T's Pierogies and Yeungling beer from the neighbouring Pottsville. As you can imagine, I hated it and wanted out as soon as possible. I have a love/hate relationship with the place. I hate the fact that it's like getting in a time machine and travelling back to 1920 but love it for inspiring me to better myself and reach my goals. Graduating high school with a class of 36 students - co-ed, mind you - was pretty much the final sign that I simply did not fit in.
Prior to marrying my mom, my dad lived in Philadelphia. Growing up, we took frequent trips to Philly and I realised at an early age that this was where I wanted to go to college. I attended LaSalle University and graduated in 2005 with a B.S.B.A. in Marketing and Management. Much to my chagrin, it became clear that the 9-5 just isn't for me. In fact, there is not enough sedatives in the world to get me through a lifetime of mundane corporate jobs.
During college, I took up modelling as a form of easy, extra income. I continued to model part time for the past 8 years but have recently become very interested in acting. I current hold this responsibility of the comedic entertainment for any social gathering of my friends and family. I spend most of my days acting like an ass clown and making people laugh. I've definitely reached the age where I've stopped caring how I'm perceived. Recently, someone told me to be fearless with comedy and it really stuck with me. Making someone smile whilst looking like an idiot is better than looking "hot" any day.
I have a few pertinent skills to offer as well. I'm well educated with business and medical backgrounds, therefore I am very comfortable with big words and can sounds smart. I'm interested in healthy eating & yoga. I am a black belt in Chinese Kenpo with the certification to instruct. I can jump, punch, kick, kill with my bare hands. I am proficient in samurai swords and also archery. I can also bowl, swim, and pretend to be virtually anything….maybe except for a ballerina. My feet are jacked the way it is.
As for acting - I'm finding myself drawn to comedy (shocker) and also very sick, twisted characters. I'm in love with the idea that you can do completely deplorable things and at the end of the day, it's all OK because you were just acting.
As of now, I am available as any kind of model really - just ask. Love doing promotions and talking to random people. I'm extremely approachable and honest. Currently taking 2 acting classes - one of which is at the Walnut Street Theatre and I'm absolutely infatuated with it! If this continues to go well, I will be taking another class in New York starting in April.
I'm very flexible with compensation…be creative…if you have an interesting idea, we can work something out.
