Southern Spirit.
As a little girl in Alabama, I used to love watching old movies with my mom. When I was about 5 years old, I told her I was going to be an actress. I don’t think she took me seriously but I just knew. When I was about 7 years old, Mom put me in ballet class and I was hooked on that too. When I was a senior in high school, I entered the local Jr. Miss Alabama contest and won the talent competition with my performance of the ballet “The Dying Swan.” A few months later, I won a college scholarship performing that piece in the Miss Alabama contest. I went on to get my BA in theatre with a concentration in dance from the University of Alabama Birmingham. After college, I realized that my true path was acting, not ballet, so I made the journey to San Francisco to study at American Conservatory Theatre and with a few twists and turns along the way, I began my career as a professional actress.
