I absolutely LOVE the bay area & moving up here 4 years ago has seriously been the best decision of my life. Crazy to think that I came here 4 years ago totally broken and lost with a huge slash in my soft top convertible which at the time didn’t reverse. Am so thankful for my life up here and the acting opportunities that I’ve been given up here as a SAG/AFTRA actor.
Looking back at the years of financial difficulties I’ve gone through in my life and having worked multiple jobs since college while putting myself through USC, I take a look at where I am now and many times want to break down and cry at how blessed I am. Never did I imagine to be living in a place that truly feels like home, be financially independent working just ONE job all the while loving the people I work with. I have found a community of heart friends up here that invest in me, that I feel safe in investing – friendships are always a 2 way street. If you’re not in the ideal work situation now, let me encourage you to keep working hard in whatever you’re doing because if you’re faithful with the small things, you truly will be faithful with the big things later on.
