About me

I was born in Kissimmee, Florida where I was raised with my 7 younger siblings. I feel that growing up the oldest of 8 shaped me into the man I am today. My parents instilled in me, at a young age, values like responsibility, organization, time management, and communication, which were all skills I focused on as I assisted around the house and watched my younger siblings. When I went into middle school, I realized that I could use those skills to help other families who didn’t have an older brother like me to help out. Through our church, I met the first family I ever babysat for professionally, and I remained their sitter for many years.

As I went to high school and started learning which hobbies I wanted to turn into career choices, I was stuck all 4 years between becoming a Pediatrician or an Actor (two very similar career paths). I attended the local community college while still completing high school and received both my Diploma and my Associates of Arts Degree when I graduated in 2012. Throughout high school, I continued to use my passion for family and childhood education through volunteering at the local elementary schools, becoming a camp counselor every summer, and taking on a second family which I babysat for all throughout my senior year and the summer leading up to college.

I ended up choosing the career path which led me to New York City to study a double major in Musical Theater and Politics at New York University. I graduated from NYU in May of 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. As an actor, none of my survival jobs gives me as much joy and fulfillment as working with children and families. As a person who sings, acts, dances, and writes music I love seeing how creative the young mind can be and treasure the opportunity to watch them learn and experience the world around them. Since moving to New York, I have taught reading and writing comprehension at a preschool, served as a temporary Nanny for a family with a pair of two-year old twins, and am currently pursuing an Online Master of Public Administration from the University of Central Florida.
