Growing up in Queens, I have always been inspired and enthralled by the layers of individuality that every New Yorker wears so well. Performing on stages where actors of all ages gave me advice not only on acting (I participated in City Light’s education programs), but also on life itself.

I spent my time after school in the Queens Library talking to librarians and writing…

Over my 2-week winter brake I spent my off time from work watching a new show called Brooklyn nine-nine, looking at the cast and premise of the show I didn’t know any of the actors or could get a clue of what the story of such show would focus on. During the first few episodes it is stablished that the show is about detectives who belong to Brooklyn’s 99th precinct and how their practices affect one another within this environment. The show became heavily focused on its characters and throughout…
