I'm a professional actress located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I graduated with a BFA in Acting from Minnesota State University, Mankato and recently moved back from Los Angeles, California where I worked professionally. Looking to network with knowledgeable, respectable, and collaborative photographers in the Minneapolis area and across the Midwest.
I love anything to do with fashion and am very knowledgeable of the industry and have a keen sense of style. I actually lived in Paris, France studying fashion a few years ago and love haute couture; thus, I'm very interested in doing more professional work with high fashion/glamour/editorial shoots.
I've done a lot of professional/collegiate theatre, in addition to commercials, film, radio, and tv/event hosting. I have and been trained with excellent professional speaking and writing skills and am proficient in the IPA and Standard American English language. So if you need an event model/spokesperson, I'd be highly trained and proficient to do so.
My special skills include drill squad, softball, skiing, skating, rollerblading, swimming, volleyball, and athletics in general. I have good knowledge of fitness equipment and aerobics, pilates, and Tae Bo. Trained in singing, piano, alto saxophone, and beginning guitar. Excellent at sight reading, good with harmonies, pick up dancing/choreography quickly, and have dance training.
Reasons to work with me: I have a great work ethic, am easy to work with, can take direction well, am comfortable working with other models, and can give an array of styles and emotions on film. Since I do have an acting background, my forte is being able to tell a story through the lens. I am very open to experimenting with photographers and just going with the flow and seeing what happens. I've been told by photographers and the general public I have a great smile--so any teeth, toothpaste, or lipstick ads...I'm your girl
Oh, did I mention I have a great sense of humor?
