Life is too short, so love the one you got!

On June 19, 2009, during one of the worst economic recessions of my lifetime, I quit my cushy, secure, well-paying and boring job as a Bodily Injury Claims Specialist (III) at Liberty Mutual to come to New York City and study the only discipline I have ever really been passionate about: theatre.

So, I will be keeping this blog and dutifully updating it with my latest adventures in the Big Apple. To start with, here are my headshots, taken in September 2008. You have to bring your headshot and resume on practically every audition you go to, so they're pretty important!

  4. ALL of your headshots are beautiful! (You look a little angry in the 4th one, though.) Did you know Farrah Faucett was discovered from a photograph? Keep on posting them!

  5. I think the one where you are not smiling is striking! Your eyes are so blue! It makes me wonder what you are thinking! (The second one from the bottom).
