Bio

South Florida is an interesting place to grow up. Luckily, I was able to figure out how to do it with my mom, dad, and twin brother by my side. There are many people with many different backgrounds, and it allows me to learn something new from everyone that I meet. The performing arts is a career that has always interested me. Most people are put into classes by their parents, but few continue past middle school. Because of acting, I have noticed that I am very creative in making decisions. I am also strong at communicating with anyone and everyone, and I am open to trying new things! After realizing that this could be a career, I wasted no time and immediately researched the industry. I got headshots, an agent, and book jobs I didn't even audition for! I have already been accepted into the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. Earning scholarships will allow me to continue to attend. The media has the biggest impact on our world; it impacts how we think and react to everyday circumstances. I want a little African-American girl to look on her television screen and feel seen and heard in her country. The ultimate goal is to go to school for this career, learn as much as possible, meet as many people as possible, and inspire little girls that look just like me.

    Terry Crews "Creative Courage" Scholarship
    Acting is an art form that has become a part of my life forever. The link below is a short film starring myself, Noelle Ramsay. With this character, I tried to capture the feelings of hope and faith—something all artists have at some point in time. Along with the film, I attached some fine art pieces created during the Covid-19 lockdown. Going natural was a huge change for me, but it was freeing. Chaos seemed to ensure throughout the media and amongst people-a clear head seemed necessary but hard to achieve. And finally, apples. Sometimes you just gotta draw some fruit! I currently attend a conservatory to continue studying acting for the stage and the screen. Through my art, I plan to inspire people and, I would like to one day hold my scholarship for people who want to pursue a career in the arts. I’m at a point where reality about finances is starting to set in and, if I can alleviate that stress for someone, I think it would be one of my greatest accomplishments.

    Viola Davis once stated, "There's one place where all the people with the greatest potential are gathered. That's the graveyard." This puzzled me immediately. She was accepting her Academy Award yet was talking about a cemetery. It wasn't until she elaborated and said that she wanted to tell stories of the people buried in the graveyard. It was at that moment that the gift of being an actress clicked with me. I want a successful career as an actress. That doesn't mean being as big as Viola Davis or as talked about as Timothee Chalamet. To me, it means being able to live financially free. It means being able to walk through life without worry. It means being able to give back to the world in any way I can. Acting is about understanding people and I think understanding comes with appreciation. My dream for my future career is to be able to help people I know and appreciate. I also want to help people I don't know–whether that be emotionally, mentally, or physically.
    Nikhil Desai "Favorite Film" Scholarship
    Winner
    The Shawshank Redemption. A beautiful film about a man sentenced to life in prison but then escaping. Most people would assume now their life is over, but nothing is over until it is over! Frank Darabont did an excellent job directing this picture. Spoiler alert: The main character--Andy--had devised a ridiculous escape plan, revealed at the end of the story. The little projects and things that led to his final escape were mind-blowing because it was all shown implicitly throughout the film. Talk about hiding in plain sight! This film taught me about sneaky people can be no matter how they present themselves! Andy seems to accept his sentence; however, he knows prison is not where he belongs. There are many lessons to learn from the film, but my biggest takeaway is the importance of optimism. The protagonist of the story never once settled with the idea of staying locked up for life. This mentality set him free of doubt and imprisonment.
