Kiden

My name is Olivia John Gumaa, although my family knows me as Kiden. My family and I moved to the United States in 2000. I attended high school for two years, graduated, and later attended college on and off while studying psychology. Due to financial challenges, I was unable to complete my degree. Throughout my life, I have worked hard to provide for my family. I spent many years working in group homes and manufacturing, and today I am proud to work as a Quality Technician for a great company. I am also the mother of four wonderful children. One dream has stayed with me since I was a young girl: acting. Back in my home country, I participated in acting through school and church programs. I loved bringing stories to life and performing in front of others. In 2009, after moving to Lincoln, I tried to pursue acting again. Unfortunately, I spent a lot of money on an agency that did not produce any opportunities, and I eventually gave up on that path. Even though life took me in a different direction, my passion for acting never disappeared. It has always been something I wanted to pursue. I believe I have the dedication, life experience, and determination to succeed if given the opportunity. I am asking for a chance to prove myself. I may not have professional acting experience, but I bring authenticity, resilience, and a genuine love for the craft. I am ready to learn, work hard, and show what I can do. Thank you for your time and consideration. Olivia Kiden Gumaa
