DATE OF BIRTH: July 22, 1979

BACKGROUND: Bachelor's Degree in English from St. John's University - 2000 grad; soon to come: Juris Doctorate degree from St. John's University School of Law - 2003!

ACTING EXPERIENCE: Various role in Schakespearean plays (Shakespearean Acting Troupe), including Lady Macbeth in Macbeth; Emma in Our Town; Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire; Pepper in IsThere a Comic in the House; Debutante in Auntie Mame (whose name escapes me at the momement); and who could forget Xena in Mixed Nuts?

ACTING INFLUENCES: As a little girl I dreamt of becoming an actress after seeing Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz; Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady; and Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.

ON ACTING: : All my life I have wanted to become an actress, I think because I love the idea of being able to transform into someone new everytime you play a different role. Acting allows you, even if for a fleeting moment, to lose yourself, and to experience life through someone else's eyes. Also, let's face it, I am a HAM, and I love to be center of attention.

ON SKYLAR: : At first glance, Skylar is a flat character, just a bundle of extreme opinions that she tries to force on those around her. However, I think that there is more to Skylar than meets the eye, perhaps, she, like many other people, uses her ideas to mask her own insecurities about life, men, and the night before with Brandon, of which she remembers nothing. Maybe she is just scared of getting too close to anyone ...........

ON THIS MOVIE: I am very proud of Lou for writing and putting togther this movie, it is not often that a person gets to fulfill a dream at so young an age! Congratulations to the whole cast for their hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication to this movie.

PERSONAL QUOTE: "She/He is an ANIMAL" or "I drank like a champ" (substitute drank for any other word if your name is Joe) or "Oh My God!!!!"
