I was born in Brooklyn, New York, but I live in Queens, New York. I have a six-year old sister and loads of friends in my neighborhood. I love hanging out with them in the backyard and playing stick ball, swimming in my friend's pool, or just goofing off and having my little sister tag along. But most of all I love family outings and vacations.

I love sports! Basketball and boxing are among those. My favorite, of course, is baseball. I learned to play at five years old in Little League. My father is a sports fanatic and is very good at playing most sports. I just started playing Ice Hockey at Chelsea Piers in New York City and I love it! I am also an avid reader. I love reading adventure books. My favorite is the Harry Potter series. Currently I am on the honor roll in the junior high school I attend, and am able to keep a straight A average.

My other passions are acting and modeling. I started at seven years old. I accompanied my Dad to an agency (he's an actor too) to drop off his comp cards and they asked him if he would let me do some modeling and acting, and the rest is history! I've been working ever since. I was lucky enough to be signed on with Ford for print work, and then Innovative Artists signed me up for film and T.V. And I owe it all to my Dad. He has helped guide my career, and showed me the ins and outs of this rough business. It's tough but I never feel pressure to get a job. Like Tom Hanks said in A League of Their Own, "If it were easy, then everyone would do it." But I like the challenge.

I've done two ad campaigns for The Gap, Toys R Us, numerous print jobs, a fashion show for Rocawear, a tribute to Muhammad Ali and an independent feature film with Anthony Michael Hall.

My parents always tell me I can do and achieve anything I want but I have to stay humble and keep grounded. Mom and Pop know best!
