"I started out pursuing modeling, but I never felt like a model. I liked to talk and share my ideas, which I believed to be a gift. Acting has helped me develop into the person I am today, a strong confident woman. I love being on stage, but teaching acting and helping others develop their skills is truly rewarding." - Crystal Reign Brock
