My Journey as an Actor
Back when I was nine, I lived with my dad for a year in Michigan and to be honest, I hated it. I barely got time with my dad, one of my cousins used to beat me up, the kids were assholes, going to school there even sucked, and I was even getting in trouble for stuff that didn't have anything to do with me but if there was something that found me to keep me from losing my mind entirely, it was movies and cartoons.

So You’re Thinking of Becoming a Hairstylist?
It’s very difficult to be told that by the time you are in 11th grade you need to have your future figured out. It’s so unrealistic! So many people drop out, change majors, and become deeper in debt because we all grow and change as we get older! Goals change, likes and dislikes may change, interests change, and plans can change too. Luckily that didn’t happen to me when I chose hairstyling as my career path.

I'm Not Acting as Much as I Would Love to Right Now
I haven't been acting since 2017 and to be honest, it feels like it's been a long time. All I've been doing is writing and trying to get my life together which is good since I finished school, now but I realize how much of a change it's been for me starting with the year of 2013.

So, What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" The question you are asked from around aged 5 by your parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, god parents, family friends, and every nosey stranger from your hair dresser to the postman.

The Work From Home Revolution
The work from home revolution is upon us. Indeed.com is the most trustworthy website to find decent work from home gigs. This is because some websites are not to be trusted if they have many scams listed without fact-checking their jobs. Apparently, in 2015, 24 percent of American workers are work from home people. Fields such as management, business, and financial operations have work from home allowances with 38 percent of people working from home. People 25 years of age or older have bachelor’s degrees, with 39 percent of those people working from home. Working from home is a new trend out there. It means that people are sick of commuting to a typical office environment where there is politics.

Plans for the Future
A couple of months ago, I had just graduated high school, and with high hopes for the future, marched right out of that hall and into the pouring rain. A slightly unfortunate turn of events for my graduation, but no matter. I didn’t know that by now, that rain would basically represent my plans for the future.

10 Tips for Negotiating Salary. Top Story - August 2018.
One of the stickiest parts of any interview with a potential employer is when the time comes to talk numbers. Maybe the salary discussion begins at the first interview, maybe it happens at the second, or maybe it's on the phone after your prospective employer has told you how much they're excited to have you on board.

Putting the Extra into Acting
It's so hot and I'm stood here in five layers of vintage clothing sweating absolute buckets. Along with the musty, moth ridden smell that lingers within my armpits, I peel away the sleeves that stick to my wet skin. Yes! I thought, this feels so good. This 1940s aqua coloured cardigan is finally being relieved from its clammy occupier. The feeling however was short lived; as soon as I go to pull at the neatly sworn buttons a flurry of makeup artists swarm me, correcting my sliding cardigan back onto my shoulders. "Let’s just fix your wig my Love" "How are your feet holding up?" "What colour lipstick do you want?" I stand there grinning, holding my clammy hands awkwardly, trying not to hold too much eye contact with the lady waving a peach coloured lip gloss at me. I did admire her eye colour for a short few moments, before realising again where I was and how I was trying hold my head towards the circulating air around me, doing my best not to pass out. Oh no! I glance once more at her light green eyes before a wave of black dots invaded mine. It was like a swoop of a cape surging over my sight. I know what some of you are thinking... Pass out... that will be hilarious... Thankfully I don't, and this colourful lump stays on her feet for three glorious more seconds... then you guessed it, I hit the deck... Blackout.
