TENESHIA CHERI LEWIS
Worcester,MA
Summary
I am a tv/film actress who enjoys portraying deep, complex, strong, spiritually-grounded, and maternal characters including a mother who is determined to save a minor or adult child from any kind of harm, a pastor who is unable to escape her own demons while trying to save a congregation, a teacher who is not afraid to stabilize a disorderly classroom, or even a law enforcement agent tasked with taking down a drug cartel. I consistently bring a "can-do-and-will-do" approach to every storytelling project. I have been described by directors and my teacher as not being afraid to take sensible and creative risks. I have great time-management skills, conduct script analyses, engage in all rehearsals, take all direction (or re-direction) seriously and wish the absolute best for the entire team including cast and crew.
