As a young girl she liked to put on performances and sing and dance for her family. She would even get her siblings involved. Her mother enrolled her as a child in Townsend Management, which is how she began her acting journey. As of today she has acted in plays that have toured the country such as "Black Boy Blues", and movies, one of the latest being "Sinners Wanted."
