I grew up reading Dear Abby. I loved reading about someone’s problem knowing that there was going to be advice on how to deal with it. Sometimes, I agreed with her; other times, I didn’t, but I often wondered how I could become the next Dear Abby. . . ​There are some people who are gifted with the ability to have people naturally open up and share with them. I like to believe that I am one of those gifted people. I enjoy hearing people’s stories, hopes, and dreams, and I feel humbled when they reveal their troubles, confusions, and worries. ​So, I’m here. I’ll share about myself. I’ll ramble on. I’ll read what you share. I’ll give you advice if you ask. Dear Baker . . . ​ So, “Ask. Dear Baker. Baker's Advice for Keeping Everything Real. I'm a daughter. I'm a mother. I'm a wife. I'm a sister. I'm a friend. I'm fiercely loyal to those I love & care about. I believe family comes first. I believe in love. Love comes in many forms, but the amazing thing about love is that it's always beautiful. I am an actress. I'm dramatic, passionate, creative, and loud. When I was young, I was painfully shy. When I was in 8th grade, I decided that I needed to overcome my fears and learn to be more outgoing, so I signed up to take theatre as my elective in school. Now, I still secretly (or not so much) dream of being on TV or film or the stage - or even becoming a voice actor. I am a teacher. I am a co-worker. I am a team player and innovator. I am a lover of the fine arts. I am a learner. I care deeply about my students and who they are as people. I aim to teach them not only the craft of acting but also life long skills that come with it: communication, cooperation, confidence, creativity, and more.
