Random Thoughts of an aspergian actress
If you’ve seen a piece of media set in the present day which features an autistic character, chances are they’ll be wearing a pair of large, ear covering headphones. And while there are a lot of things shows and movies nowadays get wrong about autism, this is actually one of the things they get right. […]
Read MoreTo be perfectly honest, I never make any kind of political posts or engage in any kind of debate on such topics on social media. Part of this is due to my (admittedly cowardly) fear of alienating people, but truthfully it’s really because I prefer to have such discussions face to face and looking people […]
Read MoreHappy Mother’s Day (or belated Mother’s Day, depending on when you’re reading this)! In honor of today, I’ve decided to write a quick post about my mom and what she’s done for and means to me. As an only child, I’ve always been very close to my parents; even before the pandemic started, I always […]
Read MoreAs most people know, it’s a brutal battle trying to make it in the entertainment industry.

Read MoreI recently downloaded an app called Streaks. In it, you can list goals and activities you want to try to accomplish every day, and the app will keep track of how many days you do them, hence the streaks (in case anybody thought the app was about putting streaks in your hair). Before all the […]
Read MoreStory time! Now this has nothing to do with acting, however I’m sure you can find a parallel in there somewhere. So back in high school, I used to do something called Forensics. Now this is not, as most assume, the brand of science made popular by shows like CSI and NCIS where investigators use […]
Read MoreEMOTIONS. It’s a big term, and not just because I put it in ALL CAPS. Whenever onstage, actors project emotions to portray their characters in order to make the audience believe and empathize with their characters. Emotions are such a huge part of acting, some acting studios/schools offer courses titled “emotional preparation” (when in fact they […]
Read MoreHope everyone had a great holiday! Honestly, today‘s not going to be a long or in depth post because I honestly don’t have that much to say this week.
