    Here it goes, 
    Im 25 year old A.A. med. complexion  female 5'5 , brown hair and eyes, a average build , can pass for (18-25), I have as many people probably have, gone through more than my share of struggles. At a young age I sought out acting as a way to temp. escape my reality of life. Since then I have found solidarity in acting. Being able to be myself, while mysteriously being someone else. I love the possibility of eluding life, while still being able to be myself, helping others and doing something that I love to do all in one. I am currently training with Page Parkes in my hometown of Houston,Texas. I recently became more able in life than ever before to focus on my life goal of not just succeeding in college but also the opportunity of pursuing my goal in this career field. 
    I am dedicated and willing to put in the work it takes to accomplish my goals. I believe I have what it takes. I follow direction while not being a follower, and I take direction and criticism and apply it
