Actor, public speaker, advocate for little people

​

When I first went to SEA, I wondered “Where is my place?” I was inspired by many one-on-one meetings. The energy in the room was almost palpable! One speaker, Mike Veny, really encouraged me to start my own thing.

​

SEA challenged me to reach out to others beyond theater – to schools, public speaking, and to advocacy with groups like Little People of America.  Since then I’ve explored connections with Repertory Theater, Faces of St. Louis, and Alliance on Mental Health!

​

​I got to go twice! It’s an amazing opportunity and more people should know about it.

I never thought I’d make my own business, but I am! You can too!
