On The Fierce Set of Kritikal's- Miss NYC Video - Live at Times Square Arts Center-

It was such an amazing day at The Times Square Arts Center at NYC. I was casted as "Miss Brooklyn" on Kritikal's new music video shoot - "Miss New York City." I observed the creative collaboration among the producers and directors on set. My fellow actresses and I created the beauty scene environment needed to execute the video's theme. All of boroughs were represented- Brox, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.

On Set- Law and Order SVU- Episcode 12019- "Rescue"

I was casted by Central Casting to play a Soho hipster dancer. The scene took place at The Bethune Center located at the meatpacking district of Manhattan. I met extraordinary fellow actors and created lasting friendships on set. We created such a heighted reality for the scene and it showed in our performances. I most definitely look forward to working on Law and Order soon!
