Tessa Farrell

Tessa has got big ambitions. Her first step in conquering the world of entertainment was winning the Study Breaks Cover Girl Search 2010. She bested dozens of other beautiful girls. The competition was tough but her drop-dead good looks and shining personality won out.

Tessa’s goal is to be a leading actress in Hollywood and go on to write, direct and produce movies. To pursue that dream, she has moved to Los Angeles as part of UT’s Semester in LA program. Tessa knows that her drive is going to take her to the top, saying, “I am going to be a Hollywood starlet or die trying.”

Since moving to LA, Tessa has gotten a prestigious internship at Joel Silver’s production company and is working with a casting company, learning the business side of Hollywood. Tessa encourages others looking to pursue their dreams to go for it. “You can be anything you want to be, because you write your own story. Remind yourself that anything is possible if you want it bad enough.”
