I started singing around the house when I was

about 4. I started acting when I was 7 going on 8.

What inspired me to sing was hearing the music

and feeling free with it. The thing that Inspired

me to act was getting to be someone else and

doing what that character would do.

I like getting into character it’s really fun.

I love to write short stories (although my

mom teases me about never finishing them)

I love to read, I like to play video games,

listen to my Ipod, and network on facebook.

I also like learning many new things.

I have performed at the Riverfront Theater in Milford,

Delaware as an orphan in Annie. I have performed at

The Delaware Children's Theater numerous times. I

performed my first professional play in Philadelphia at

The Prince Music Theater opposite Leslie Uggams

In Stormy Weather. I have performed live on stage at

The Philadelphia Book Festival and I sang the

National Anthem in 2008 at Frawley Stadium for Duffy's Annual Celebrity Softball Game.

My first stage play was Annie in which I was cast as the orphan July in Milford, Delaware.

In Scrooge and Aladdin I was cast in the ensemble (singing, singing, singing). In Stormy

Weather, Imagining the life of Lena Horne I was double cast as Young Gail (Lena's daughter)

and Amy ( Lena's grand daughter). Last year I performed for the first time in New York City

when I was cast as Shana in the musical "WRAPPED" which was part of the New York

Musical Festival, that was alot of fun because I got to perform my first Rap Song.

I also performed my first school musical at Cab Calloway School of the Arts last year when

I was cast in Music Man, that was an honor because 6th grader's normally don't get cast

in the school musicals.

When I was cast in Stormy Weather we made a cast appearance at the 30th Street Train

Station for the Pathmark Black History Month celebration in which we sang a song from

the show.

Most recently I guest-starred on Law & Order SVU with Cicely Tyson in the episode entitled

“Hell” in which I played an African Refugee who had been raped and left for dead in an alley.

My character's name was Miriam Burdett.

I've only done a few student films BUT I plan to make it to the big screen one day!
