A Pacific Northwest Girl

Well, everybody in the class already knows that I'm an actor-although I wouldn't say that's completely accurate. I've acted before, but I'm not true actor. My love of theater originates in my deep and unending love for words. I love books, poems, essays, stories, speeches, etc. If you give me a beautiful sentence, or a word, I will fall head over toes in love with it before you can remind me that the sentence is part of a book. Nonetheless, acting has been, fun, mostly because I've done quite a bit of Shakespeare. I was Juliet in a high school production of Romeo & Juliet, as well as Hermia in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I get to be a part of that play again this year in the role of Hippolyta. Other than that, my love of Shakespeare is as unending as my love of words, a passion that the bard himself shared. I've read many of his plays, memorized his sonnets, and seen some incredible, and not-so-incredible performances of his works. 

As for me, all you really need to know is that I am from Vancouver (not BC), Washington (not DC), and that I miss it every day. The rain, the trees, the unpolluted PNW air; it calls to me. I come from a half hispanic, half white family where cultural lines get blurred. The first picture is of me and my best friend/boyfriend enjoying the sunrise, the second picture is of my other great love, Oly the bunny. His predecessor, Jaro, was also named after a mountain. Olympus and Kilimanjaro. I would read all day long if I could, and I often do. My other interests include paleontology and baking, which I try to combine as much as I can. 

I'm looking forward to this class, and to getting to know everybody.

Thanks,
