R29 Dream Jobs Article

Back in August I was asked by Refinery 29 what my dream job was when I was a little girl. I quickly answered "MOVIE STAR!". They brought me in so that I could play dress up and pretend to be the movie star that I always wanted. 

They brought in so many different types of women and we all shared our dream jobs and what we are doing now. Below is my complete quote, but make sure to click the article so that you can check out what all the other amazing women are doing! 

"I remember watching Barney & Friends as a kid and asking my mom why the children never went to the bathroom. She told me they were actors, and that's when I decided that I was going to be a movie star, so that I could act with Barney. 

"Right now, I'm a third-year graduate student with the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University getting my MFA in acting. My reason for acting has changed but my love, passion, and drive for acting has continued. 

"When I was still in high school, I went to this acting seminar and this man told me, 'If you have a backup plan, you're preparing yourself to fail.' What he said really hit me. If I let myself have a backup plan, that meant that I didn't believe enough in myself. From that moment on, I put all of my energy into achieving my dream. I know how difficult this profession is; I know how few people make it. I don't want to be famous, I don't need to be the next big thing, I just want to act."
