What are the biggest challenges stuttering has presented to you?
The biggest challenge for me is the frustration I feel when trying to get my thought out. I’m super communicative, so not being able to start/finish a sentence the way I hear it in my head can be frustrating.
What is your greatest accomplishment with regard to stuttering?
I am able to work as an actor while having a stutter.
Based upon your experiences, what would you like to tell children who stutter?
It is ok! I know it sounds cliché but be you! Don’t let the stutter define you because it doesn’t and never will. YOU define YOU.
Based upon your experiences, what would you tell parents of children who stutter?
You need to have patience and understanding. Let children take their time and get the thought out for themselves. Don't speak for them, even if their voice is bumpy, because it’s their voice and it needs to be heard. Treat them with compassion and love no matter what.
What else should we know?
I have an EP coming out very soon, and you can stream my song “Back To Me” on all streaming services now!
