The history section is up to the writer. I have had training in film at John Robert Powers Agency in Chicago, IL when I was scouted at age 13 and fell in love with acting. Ever since then I knew this was the career I wanted to pursue. After high school I took a break to travel and really find myself and my passion. I am an only child and have family members in television in chicago on channel five news nbc Leanna Trotter. My mother was a model/actress in her hayday which has probably also inspired me to follow in her footsteps.

Please make sure the narrative is well written and pulls influential figures from the film world as influences and inspirations. Thanks!
