If you click on her face, you will link to her resume.

Annika has been busy with lots of wonderful opportunities coming along from the Agents.  She has been auditioning a lot.  Most of the auditions are at Hasbro Headquarters in Pawtucket RI or at Christine Wyse in Boston.  Featured clients have been Houghton Mifflin, Phillips, Hasbro, Massachusetts Dept. of Tourism...etc.

Creating your child's resume takes time and focus.  Both the Parent and the child must take the time to gain the experience so that a resume can be created.  There are many ways to do this.  If your child is inexperienced, you may look into church programs, and community theater to help boost the resume.  Another wonderful idea is to take a 6 week or summer program (you pay for these) at a reputable theater company like Trinity Rep. or Artists Exchange (in Rhode Island).  You will pay for it, but you can have it on the resume.  In Annika's case, she participated in
Celebrity Actors Camp and was trained by Disney Stars.  She also had a Showcase and performed to agents from all over the country.  This was excellent for boosting her up in writing!

Battleship Ball charity for Hasbro Hospital

Hasbro Children's Hospital Battleship Ball
in the Ballroom at the RI Convention Center
Saturday, March 3rd 2012

Annika was part of a wonderful charity event.  Alongside about 8 other Model Club Inc Actors and Models who have used the services of the Children's Hospital, Annika was able to land three jobs in the production of the event.  The first job was to create a commercial that advertized and publicized the Ball.  The second job was to create a Music Video that was shown at the Ball featuring the children dancing to a B-52's song.  The B-52's were the Band that performed at the Ball.  Finally, the children were invited to participate in the Ball and assist in achieving the financial goals for the Children's Hospital.









For those of us parents who were there, it was a wonderful time to bond and get to work together.  The children also enjoyed getting to know each other.  They were so adorable and everyone at the Ball seemed happy to see them and hear from them.  They worked with the Channel 12 Meteorologist, Tony Petrarca.  He was the hard-working MC for the night.  The kids and him made a great team.  Sheryl the organizer and creator of the event had a wonderful team of people who thought of everything that would make us comfortable.  Paul created the video and Guy Abelson was the one who actually hired the children.  It was awesome to get to work with professionals of this caliber!








When the night was over, the B-52's had sent candy and autographs for the children, Sheryl let the kids take their sailor suits home and asked us if we could work together again sometime!  Everyone said Yes! 

It was a wonderful time, not soon forgotten.
