Hotshot #3

“I’ve always had dreams of grandeur, which brought me to Chicago after graduating college. Being creative and artistic led me to focus on three main pursuits: acting, writing, and blogging. Acting, you can’t really fit that into a box anymore. There’s so many different types and formats now and I love that. I’m also a writer. I love young adult fiction, but my new book that I’m currently finishing up is a romance novel about people trying to find their purpose in life and where that ends up taking them. And lastly, I want to do blogging full-time, because it opens the door to so many other things. I wanted an outlet to show people that you can do anything you put your mind to, even if it might take a bit and not end up going the direction you thought it would. You can still create that dream. I want to inspire people because I’ve been inspired and supported by so many. And you’re only as big as the people that support you. @emeraldcitycoffee gives me a great place to focus on my pursuits!”
