I am very excited to announce that I have been cast in Gulf Coast State College Theatre's production of Godspell! It has been seven years since my first production here, and I am thrilled to be returning to a familiar stage. I will be singing the "All Good Gifts" solo, among other songs! Musical Theatre is my passion, and I am looking forward to working with this talented cast and crew! 🎭 #ActorsLife (at Amelia Arts Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1-MSQFHe2D/?igshid=1946m0vj169rf

I have a lot to be happy and grateful for, but there’s literally a chemical imbalance in my brain that won’t allow me to be. 🙃 I looked nice today, though. #ActorsLife #MentalHealth (at University of West Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqtXtyRgABD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=111jksiybfexh

The semicolon is used when an author could have chosen to end their sentence, but they chose not to. — I have been struggling with mental illness for the past three years now, and I would love to say that it gets easier, but everyday is a new challenge. Despite what the world has thrown at me, however, I have not given up. I have chosen to continue on and chase my dreams. I have chosen to speak out about the things that are important to me. I have chosen to love everyone that comes into my life. I have chosen to be a good friend. I have chosen not to end my life. — I never thought I would get a tattoo, but recently I have battled thoughts and emotions that I’d never experienced before. This tattoo signifies strength, acknowledgment, and hope to continue to fight. Mental Illness is not something to be ashamed of, and it will only become more recognized when we all talk about it openly and honestly. — #projectsemicolon #suicideawareness #suicideprevention #tattoo #myfirsttattoo #mentalhealth #strength #semicolon (at Pensacola Tattoo Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqqia8bAN3d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9ewzvwe89ajj

Although I was happy to visit my hometown today to vote, it was also my first time going home after Hurricane Michael. The pictures do not do the damage justice. Familiar parts of the town are completely unrecognizable, and some buildings completely destroyed. Amazingly, my house received minimal damage despite the destruction surrounding us. We are blessed. We will rebuild. #850strong #HurricaneMichael (at Panama City, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpyVNsRA68q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lwo7xv2g8rja
