ABSTRACT

Kelli has been acting from the time that she was a young girl participating in community theater, local commercials, and school productions. Her parents had immigrated from Taiwan before she was born and settled in a midsized Midwestern city in the United States. While in high school, she often attended acting schools during the summer in New York (NY), London, and Los Angeles (LA), which allowed her to be a part of summer play productions, as well as work and network with acting coaches and actors from around the world. During her senior year of high school, Kelli faced the decision to move to LA or NY after high school or pursue a theater or film acting degree in college. After graduating from college, Kelli was still determined to move to LA to pursue her acting goals, but felt burned out, frustrated, and lacked confidence in her acting skills.
