About ME
I’m Tessa White — an actress, dancer, and performer from Topeka, Kansas, now based in Melbourne, Florida. Growing up in a big family taught me how to express myself boldly and connect deeply with others, while years of theatre, dance, and cheer instilled in me discipline, endurance, and precision. I approach every role with the focus of an athlete and the heart of an artist, always striving to tell stories that move people. Whether on stage or on camera, I bring energy, creativity, and authenticity to every performance — because for me, storytelling isn’t just a passion, it’s my purpose.
Growing up in a big family in Topeka, Kansas, I discovered the magic of performing early. From cheer competitions to orchestra performances, I’ve always loved being on stage. My training with Barbizon and years in dance and theatre taught me discipline, creativity, and how to tell stories that connect.
What began as a childhood love of performing quickly grew into a lifelong passion for acting and expression. Whether through dance, theatre, or music, I’ve always been drawn to characters — understanding their emotions, their purpose, and the stories they tell. Each performance gives me the chance to share something honest and meaningful with an audience.
My background as a competitive cheerleader and dancer taught me the importance of endurance, precision, and teamwork. Those same qualities now fuel my work as an actress, helping me bring strength, focus, and grace to every project I take on. I approach each role with the dedication of an athlete and the heart of an artist — always ready to learn, collaborate, and grow.
After years of theatre, music, and performance training, I’ve developed a strong foundation in memorization, improvisation, and physical storytelling. These skills allow me to adapt quickly on set and deliver authentic, emotionally connected performances.
Now based in Melbourne, Florida, I’m excited to expand my career in film and television. I’m passionate about working with creative teams who value storytelling, artistry, and genuine human connection. Every new role is an opportunity to explore, evolve, and bring something inspiring to life.
Whether on stage or in front of the camera, I pour my heart into every performance — because for me, storytelling isn’t just a craft, it’s who I am.
“Driven by passion, grounded in precision, inspired by storytelling.”
