I always dreamed of moving to New York City. After living there for 5 years, I found an even better home in New England.

After five years of living in NYC, I moved to Providence, Rhode Island.

Ever since I was a child, I knew I wanted to leave my home in San Diego County behind and pursue a career in theatre on the East Coast. In my teens, I applied exclusively to New York schools, eventually choosing Hunter College, where I earned my degree in theatre.Initially, I fell in love with the New York City arts and culture scene, and appreciated how easy it was to get around without a car. After five years, though, living in the big city started to wear me down.NYC has a lot going on, no matter where you turn: loud noises, tall buildings, and crowds upon crowds. I started to feel claustrophobic and began thinking about settling in a smaller, more laid-back city.During this point in my life, I was making frequent trips from NYC to Rhode Island to do shows. And soon, it hit me that I may have found my ideal home.During my trips to Rhode Island, I fell in love with Providence

I loved the colorful houses in Providence.
