I am studying under Marc Durso of Act True right now.  He is a student of the legendary Uta Hagen.  He's exceptional as a teacher whom I admire for his devotion to give his learned knowledge and experience to actors who have the tenacity and drive to learn.

Summer in Florida is slow for actors.. especially union (SAG) actors.  So I'm working to earn a buck in as many ways as I can while promoting myself for the upcoming season.  It's often frustrating to see how many films, television shows and other productions that bring in actors from New York and Los Angeles.  There is good talent here, but we don't often get the chance to be seen for roles that are more than a line or two.  I may have to go elsewhere to make a living in this business.. and I am ready to do anything (within respectable moral values) to at least make a living as an actress.

Give, but never give-up.
