I am a rising Junior Theatre Arts major with a concentration in Acting at Howard University. I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana but I currently reside in Houston, Texas. During my freshman year of high school in Houston, I found the love my life. Art. In high school is where I first built my love for acting. I can always recall my sophomore year in high school after our production of Before It Hits Home, leaving the stage with the feeling of not being able to do anything else with my life.
I am now a student in the Theatre Arts department at Howard University. Since arrival at Howard, I can honestly say that my development and love for my craft has skyrocketed to levels I never thought possible. As I move toward my Junior year, I am hunger for more knowledge! Below, for your review is a link to my production shots over the past year at Howard Univeristy.

I have recently been given the opportunity to train with Stella Adler Studio of Acting this summer in New York City. Stella Adler is a school that has trained thousands of actors to go on in careers in theater and film. The Stella Adler Studios advocates an essential focus in American actor training.
The need of a young actor to act is stronger than an intelligent nonprofessional can comprehend. The world may think that an actor’s ambition is focused on an appetite for money, success, and fame. Even those actors who admit to these aims tell only part of the story. The theatre is different from most other professions because it requires its dedicated practitioners to struggle toward a brutally honest, creative way of life.
- The summer intensive is a 10 week program where I will have the liberty of taking classes such as: Adler Technique, Improvisation, Scene Study, Shakespeare, Movement, and Voice & Speech, Master Classes in Character and Acting for Film & Television are given to supplement the training.
- Please help me to attend this program. As a growing actor, I believe attending this summer intensive will enhance the skills that I am currently gaining at Howard.
I charge you to donate $100, if that's not possible any donation will benefit.
Thanks for taking the time to even consider.
