"Rebel with a Cause"--Chicago Stage and Cinema

I am not afraid to take risks.  I hustle because I am passionate about my work.  I was born funny.  I understand drama is part of being human.   Tears can be happy or sad.  I get along with others. Improv is excellent at parties. I always answer with “YES AND”. 

Much Love,
