Are you what you wanted to be when you “grew up?”

I wanted to be a lot of things when I was growing up but the one passion that has always interested me was writing and hosting. I imagined interviewing different types of people and being on camera. It was funny because even this was an interest for me I didn’t start college with this goal. I went to college to become a physical therapist.

After taking physics and physiology I knew physical therapy wasn’t for me. My husband was a film major and reintroduced me into the creative world, where I should have started in the first place. I feel comfortable behind the camera, I love writing and creating something for others to enjoy.

So I took my first ever art class, and didn’t do too bad, though I often got frustrated because I couldn’t create what I envisioned in my head – but you know what I think the instructor could see that. I walked away with a B in the class. Then I took a photography class that I loved, you know the kind of class that required “film” and developing. It was an absolute blast. I also took a few screenwriting classes.  I wound up with a degree in Journalism with an option in Public Relations.
