Bio

I grew up in Australia (a place called Noosa) and came to the states to study theatre and political science. Because of the work my parents did, I lived in seven different countries by the time I was 18. That list includes England, Cuba, Germany, Spain, Guam and Australia. I also studied abroad at the Moscow Art Theatre School for a spell. Read about it here. My passports and accent are probably just as confused as you are about why I moved around so much.
