My dream is to make a positive difference in people's lives through story telling. That is what keeps driving me every day.

Some days on set I'm the producer, other days an actor, other times I'm background talent. It doesn't matter what role I'm doing or playing, no matter how big or small. I'm still contributing to the project and always remind myself what a privilege it is to be 'on set' and be part of this entertainment industry!
