WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT TGS?
Moving to a new city and meeting like-minded individuals as an adult can be difficult. TGS has created a welcoming space to socialize and meet new people in an authentic way.
WHAT IS One piece of advice you’d share with your younger self?
Hold on, baby girl! You are in for one amazing, beautiful ride. Love yourself. Stay true to your character. Everyone will not understand your vision nor are they all deserving of joining you on the journey. And last but not least, you are worthy of all your dreams.
when you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
1) Ballet Dancer, 2) A Criminal Psychologist with the FBI, 3) Citizen of the World. I grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere. I used to stare at pictures of all these amazing places around the world, and daydream of experiencing each one.
what is your favorite quote or mantra?
“This above all; to thine own self be true.” – from Hamlet; “Molly, you in danger girl!” – Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost
