Dan Velez Scholarship Fund

Last week I was invited to the Dan Velez Scholarship Fund Event, a wonderful evening of food, drinks and fun to honor the life and legacy of late casting director Dan Velez. My essay on the power of comedy was selected from over 400 submissions as a top 6 finalist for the Fund, which provides money and mentorship to young actors. While I was not selected as a winner, I feel so affirmed by my selection (by Board Members including Sarah Michelle Gellar and Casting Director Mary Vernieu) and had a great time celebrating with other young creators who are "Dreaming Big"! I'm working on a new edit of my essay and will post it here on my blog when it is ready to share :)
