an actress in the Movie and I was introduced to TAMPAN USA chapter, which I

has been nothing but awesome."
What are the challenges? "Hmmm! It has been very
challenging, I mean discouraging, but my love and passion for my career have
been keeping me going. There are a lot of challenges, from production set,
Profit, and then some kinds of people with funny attitudes in the industry. But
giving up is not an option."
