June is in Bloom // 

I know I haven't updated in a few months. April, May and June have been crazy busy. 

I'm training 3-4 days a week now in film combat techniques, martial arts, boxing, kick-boxing and weapons handling! I loooove it so much. I saw Maggie Q from WB's Nikita the other day in the Meatpacking District .... I want her job so bad :) Maybe one day, when she retires from that role.. hehee. 

I'm working on a new action short called "Hot Date" with Mako San Productions and it's going to look great! Really enjoying learning new techniques, working on getting my kicks higher and "selling the shots" on camera. Not easy! I am getting used to being sore everyday from now on. But, there are only upsides - I'm getting stronger, more fit and overall healthier. 

Besides the action //
I've been auditioning for more commercials this month. Got 2 callbacks for national SAG commercials in May, my first auditions for SAG national commercials, and my first 2 callbacks -- so yay! I'm learning a lot and that's all I hope for, to continually learn, improve, apply what I've learned and keep getting better so that I may reach my goals and aspirations. 

Also, just completed filming a pilot for a romantic-comedy webseries called Is It Me? // I play a very fun character: her name is IZZY or ISABELLE, and she is a bi-sexual woman who cannot commit to anything: job or relationship-wise. It's definitely a new role and a switch up from all the bad-ass action stuff I've been doing. I hope to see it excel and succeed. It should be up on IMDB soon and I received my first Taft-Hartley for it, making me SAG Eligible now. 

Jumping to the next genre //
TURN the feature film I'm involved in this summer has started filming. I play a ferocious werewolf, LYCA. Our trailer will be up soon and our costumes are being profesionally made! I've been obsessed with HBO's True Blood, so getting the chance to play a character in a vampire/werewolf film is wicked! 

And the BIGGEST NEWS OF ALL: 

I quit my day job. I left in all good terms of course! But, it's time to focus on this 200% and I am here to do just that. Carpe Diem. 

Wish me luck!
