"Your life is your message to the world. Make sure it's inspiring"
My father, Jo Jo White former Celtic's point guard, is a huge advocate that all dreams are possible. He always instilled in our family that no matter what you do in life to always, "Make It Count." My siblings (one brother and four sisters) and I have embraced my father's belief of making every day a day of purpose and it's become the core of how we conduct our lives. My brother and I followed as the second generation to pursue a career in entertainment. My brother, Brian J. White, was a former football player for the New England Patriots and is now a working actor and philanthropist. Similarly, I am in the process of studying and expanding my career in the art of performance, living my dreams and loving the journey. But first, let me share with you a bit about my story.

My brother Brian J. White
I started modeling at age 5 with Dynasty Agency in Boston, MA. While continuing to cultivate my love for modeling, I also played sports like my dad. I was extremely dedicated to sports as a tri-athlete playing basketball, soccer and running track.

, I attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS where I studied and graduated with an English degree (with an emphasis in creative writing). Despite popular belief that I would continue my dad's legacy and play basketball, I actually played soccer in college. My stint in soccer was short lived when I realized that entertainment gave me purpose. It allowed me to encompass the multitude of my talents outside of just athleticism. At that point in my life, I saw a special opportunity to nurture my entertainment skills while completing my degree. Once I moved off the soccer field, I enrolled in acting/dancing classes and worked as an intern at Exposure Model & Talent in Olathe, KS ( ). While working there, I was able to sit behind the scenes of auditions and learn the process of editing footage. I also took part in fashion shows as a production assistant. My time at Exposure was very fulfilling and insightful. Although it was short lived, it helped give me a glimpse of the mechanics of acting. After completing my Bachelors degree in May of 2013, I returned back to Boston, MA.
After graduation, I re-joined with my old dance company Phunk Phenomenon based in Everett, MA ( Phunk Phenomenon ). Phunk Phenomenon made their debut on the world wide stage when they reached the finals on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew in 2011. Phunk Phenomenon is a multi-ethnic urban dance company. The company is a cross-cultural fusion of traditional, contemporary and "street" dance disciplines. The styles of dance that I have honed over the years are hip-hop, krump and reggae.
Reia Briggs-Conner, my dance mentor and owner of Phunk Phenomenon says, "Miss White is not only a pretty face; she is also an intelligent, kind, and responsible human being. It has been a blessing to have had her in my life."
While developing my dance skills I signed with Maggie Inc. located in Boston, MA ( ). I also signed with Boston Casting in 2013, the largest casting agency in New England ( ). I was simultaneously working with Maggie Inc. and Boston Casting going on auditions and was able to land a few rolls. One job of note was as the principle for a soccer commercial working with Olympian Alex Morgan.

Since 2013, I've been devoted to broadening my acting skills, taking classes with Michael Fennimore, Ann Baker, and Jennifer Salvucci at Boston Casting. I moved to LA in April 2014 and I am still actively involved in taking classes and polishing my skills. I'm seeking roles that are complex, challenging and ultimately inspirational to all viewers. I am patiently waiting for the right opportunity to showcase my talents and until then, I just enjoy each and every day as a gift knowing that whatever I do I will always, "Make it Count."
