O Me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman
What will your verse be?
"I strive to stand before kings."

I am extremely passionate about acting and have invested a great deal of time and effort to further my acting career. At the age of 32, I went back to school to pursue my dreams, and a whole new world opened up for me. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Theatre in December of 1999 and went on to complete my MFA in Acting at the Actor's Studio in May of 2005. I have performed in numerous plays, and I achieved one of my short-term-goals by appearing in a National Commercial for Intelligent Office.
After completing my education, I moved back to my home in Denver to support my family and to take a more active role in their daily lives; however, my passion for acting and my drive to succeed in this profession is still very much alive in me.
