Introduction

I want to start my blog by introducing myself. My name is Trina Martica and I decided to do this blog because I get a lot of people asking about my accent, my skin and about my life. So I decided to share with you who I am and what I do on a daily basis in my life.

I am originally from Barbados and spent 19 years of my life growing up on that beautiful island. I left Barbados and then headed to Florida to pursue my undergraduate degree in International Business & Trade. I lived in Florida for 5 years and then traveled for 4 months between Barbados, Florida, New York and California, spending most of my time in New York of course.

After exploring New York I decided it was time to make a decision in my life and find a job. I ended up returning home to Barbados and spent 2 years working in a law firm working my way up the corporate ladder to manager. I did enjoy this job immensely but soon realized that it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I had saved enough money to make a move to London and thus applied for my visa to live in London for 2 years. I spent the next 2 years of my life modeling and then fell into acting along the way while in London. I always knew that London was just for a time and that my heart always belonged to the United States and so at the end of my 2 years I moved to New York.

I enrolled in Acting School in New York and did a One Year course while acting. After this I felt that I could be doing more and wanted to go a step further and learn about the Business side of the Film Industry. I found out about a Program that was a One Year Intensive MBA that specialized in Media Management. This particular course incorporates the business of the Film Industry, Music Industry, Arts & Publishing and Media. At the end of my course I decided to move to Los Angeles and look into acting and/or producing in the Entertainment Industry.

Moving to LA was great. I always wanted to be in the middle of it all and although I am getting few roles here and there I realized I could be doing a lot more with my life. I wanted to reach out to people and this is where I came up with the idea for a Blog and a YouTube channel. I get quite a few people interested in my life and how I made it to LA so I thought why not BLOG about it. All of my dreams have come through and I always believe in being Positive. There are a lot of people struggling and I love to encourage everyone I meet along the way so Remember DO WHAT YOU LOVE !
