About Me!
Hello!!! My name is Carly Garcia Walton (she/her) and I am a queer Mexican-American performer/playwright/model hailing from San Diego, California with a BFA in musical theatre from Rider University. I am a self-proclaimed “history fiend”, fierce environmental activist, and lifelong vegetarian. I absolutely adore reading books on greek mythology, tending to my little herb garden, thrifting/up-cycling clothes, and am currently obsessed with the biography of Frida Kahlo by Hayden Herrera. As as Aries, I burn with creativity and am always up for a challenge!
Stay groovy out there y’all :)
