Cracked

At the essence of it all, I am a storyteller. I create and embody characters that put a mirror to life’s realities, raising awareness of human behavior; through my acting, writing and singing. A native New Yorker raised and influenced by my Jamaican roots, I first found my love of art through singing when I was 6. Bob, Whitney, Mariah, Lionel and Anita were my team! I was a regular in my HS drama club and performed every free moment I could find. However, through the plight of adulthood, I decided to change my course and study business at Syracuse University. There I earned a B.S. in Business (Marketing; Music Industry). Probably a year or two after graduation, my soul yearned for more. Thinking of what used to create happiness in my life, I decided to return to my love of the arts.

While working for some of the busiest, most demanding companies in the world, I trained and studied acting at HB Studios and William Esper Studios under Terry Knickerbocker. Thereafter I completed the Labyrinth Theater master class and graduated from Shane Ann Younts‚ two-year voice, speech and Shakespeare intensive training. I continue to strengthen my craft at Scott Freeman Studios and with Gail Bell (M.E.L.T). Film/TV: Hidden Heroes (CBS), The One that Got Away Promo (FYI), Stalked: Someone's Watching (Discovery ID), Green Grass All Around, (37th Street Productions), The Moment (One Race Films), Sides‚ and Date Night. Theater: Julius Caesar (Royal Shakespeare Company). Fabulation, or the Re-education of Undine (Brave New World Repertory) and Art. Love. Life: The Cypha (37th Street Productions).

In 2014, whilst writing several bodies of work, I founded 37th Street Productions. Its mission is to create relevant and engaging content for film, television and theater that authentically reflects the lives of Caribbean-Americans. (www.37thstreetproductions.com). I'm in the final stages of editing my screenplay. Writing credits include "Art. Love. Life: The Cypha" (one-woman theater play), "Green Grass All Around" (short film), "Fired" (short film).

To stay physically fit, I've now added kickboxing and pilates to my regular yoga/running/dancing routine (gotta switch it up)! I love to cook, dine and spend quality time with close friends and family. A lover of outdoors and the raw Earth, I volunteer at the Elizabeth Street Garden, Soho NY in the warmer months. Lastly but ever important, I am a DIE HARD reggae/soca fan and Trinidad Carnival lover. For more cool tidbits on me, feel free to browse my social media handles.
