I'm looking to get some athletic, high fashion, themed and artsy/ avant garde photos.  I want to work with interesting photographers and make-up artists to produce works of art!

I am a Black American of Guyanese (South American) decent, raised in the suburbs of Orange County.  I graduated from UCLA where I majored in Electrical Engineering.  Although I had taken a couple of acting classes in high school and college, my love for acting didn't come into fruition until much later. 

I worked for a number of years as a Technology Security Consultant for Accenture.  The demanding job required weekly travel to many parts of the country including Arizona, San Francisco, and Houston, Texas.  In order to make the most of my time in other parts of the country; I studied acting whenever she could, frequently acting in short and student films on the weekends when I was back in Los Angeles. 


As the time for promotion drew nearer, I was faced with a difficult choice: continue to climb the corporate ladder and reap the monetary rewards or pursue my creative dreams of acting.  One week after getting promoted at Accenture, I decided to quit my job, move to Los Angeles and follow my dream.


I have been studying at "The Acting Corps" for the past four months and have graduated their daily intensive Boot Camp 1 and 2 programs.  I have completed a run of Layon Gray's award winning play "Soldier's Don't Cry" where I co-stared as PVT Lewis. I'm actively pursuing a career in film and television, love the theater and enjoy my new challenging life.
