She graduated in 2007 from the University of Virginia with a double major in Theater and American Studies, has had the privilege of working on Tyler Perry projects like The Family that Preys, Why did I Get Married Too?, he Marriage Counselor and the television series House of Payne and Meet the Browns, and the most recent series’ The Haves and The Have Nots and Love Thy Neighbor on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
