When someone tells me I won’t be able to do something, you can bet that I'll go do it. I became the number-one pick out of 500 people for an agency's casting call. At 17 years old, I suddenly found myself in L.A. modeling, in Atlanta learning from Kanye’s A&R, and skipping school (don’t tell my dad) to go on TV shoots and auditions.

​

I trained with some of the best in the industry, including teams at Tyler Perry Studios, where I learned to study real human motivations and emotions. That skill taught me how to communicate authentically, understand what triggers action, and speak in different voices—which is exactly what I do now for brands.

My favorite work quickly became commercials and industrial how-tos.
