Graduation Speech : I Am An Interviewer

From an early age I have always had a strong interest in art, and have been involved with it in some form all through my life. When I turned 15 I realised that it was something that I might like to pursue as a career, I started taking it more seriously. At the same time, I gained interest in film production because I find the behind the scenes of films are amazing as I found this out when I was watching one the behind the scene documentary of my two favorite movies and directed by two of my favorite directors in the film industry which are Goodfellas by Alfonso Cuarón and Children of Men by Martin Scorsese. The specific parts in this course that interest me are the cinematography and the editing process. In my spare time I like to film and edit short videos, either scripted or just finding video clips I have to match up to a song.

In high school, I was the typical jock--I never took a drama class (though I now wish I

My sister was a singer. When my sister was around twelve, she wanted to get an agent. So I went to Toronto with my sister and my mom to find her an agent. She's six years older than me. She went in to go get the agent, and my mom and I came in with her. The agent looked at me and asked me if I wanted to join. I was just five, and my mom was just like, "He's too young. I'm not sure if he wants to do that." But I was like, "I'll do it." And they were like, "So what do you want to do?" And I was like, "I wanna act." And they just let me into their agency. I tried it out, and I've been acting ever since.

I ended up getting my own show on E. That was a fashion focus talk show. Then I did Fashion Police, and I was in that world. Then it wasn't really until I came to Home & Family that I actually started doing DIY on camera. It had just been something that I did for my own life for my own wardrobe and for my friends. It wasn't anything I thought could be a career. At the time, DIY wasn't what it is now.  But Home & Family opened the door for me to do it as a career.

I hold a Bachelor of Business Degree in Event Management from International College of Management in Sydney. I am also the proud founder of GraceLever.com, an entity dedicated to empowering and equipping women with critical business skills. Because of my academic background, work experience and personal conviction. I have become highly adept at sales management, marketing, business development, program management, business process automation, consulting and strategic planning.

Since I was eleven years old, I have known that I wanted to act. It was something that my parents never particularly encouraged, nor supported, but the seed was planted. I was sixteen when I first stepped into my high school’s theatre for my first day of drama class, and it changed my life. I felt at home and I would even call it the point of my salvation. From discovering the theatre and joining the world of the performing arts, I have grown so much as a person and have found a sense of self and purpose that I didn’t have before. I could not have imagined that I would, or even could, have the immense passion for acting and theatre that I have today, and it is beyond me how I became so lucky as to find something that makes me so incredibly

I recently graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh with a degree in Graphic Design. This and working as a freelance designer, I have gained valuable experience designing marketing material including brochures, posters, logo and product packaging. I am proficient with

The career I have chosen is called Art or Creative Director. An Art/Creative Director is someone who is responsible for the overall atmosphere or appearance of films, television shows, stage productions, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, and multimedia products. They have a strong sense of design, vision, and style. I am interested in this career because it really shows my creative side and for years I am known for my aptitude of drawing, painting and etc.

I am an actor with a life- long passion for storytelling. I have been enamored with theatre for many years because it is a medium through which I can share stories in the most effective way. Stories have complex ideas and important messages and theatre turns them into memorable pieces. I have found purpose in theatre because it has broadened my understanding of how other people experience life. I learn something new from every play I see, read, and perform in.

RH: Why did you decide to become an actress? What kind of training have you had?

Before joining theatre as a freshman, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I stuck to the background and did my best to avoid being noticed, as I had done for the last few years before high school. It wasn’t enjoyable, and I am not entirely sure why I did this in the first place. I had planned on keeping to myself for my entire high school career, that is, until I joined Theatre.

For the past three years, I have developed an acting skill through dedication and perseverance. Although I am not a theatre major, acting and theatre is where I found my best friends and who I

"…I am a reader, I am a writer, I am a historian, I am a mathematician and I am a scientist. I am great! I am Greenvale great!" All the students at Greenvale elementary school chanted these words each morning along with the staff. Then they were told morning announcements by the principal. At P.S George F. Bristow preschool, students began their day by entering the classroom and having breakfast with their classmates and listening to morning announcements given by their teacher. At Bronx Studio School for Writers and Artist, the students would walk through the entrance where they were met by the principal and greeted with a handshake. They would then swipe their identification cards and head upstairs swiftly as they listened to

My overall experience in PR, Marketing and Communications is over 13 years, including almost six years at Marcellin Technical College.

“I thought martial arts was my forte, but then I realized I wasn't the only person that could do this when I got into show-business. Compared to others, I wasn't really that good. So, I became a children's TV program host.” This came from the mouth of one of the famous comedy film directors named Stephen Chow.
