Meet Carnessa, a dynamic 24-year-old from Idaho who is making waves both in her professional career and her passion for acting. Currently serving as the lead project clerk for Transystems in Nampa, Carnessaโ€™s journey began in 2018 as a receptionist and part-time clerk for the Twin Falls project. Since then, her hard work and dedication have propelled her into a leadership role, where she thrives in her contributions to the team.

While Carnessa is excelling in her role at Transystems, her true passion lies in the world of acting. She seeks to create thought-provoking films filled with compelling imagery, aiming for her characters to resonate with audiences and reflect the complexities of everyday life. Carnessa has recently landed an exciting role in a new project: she is featured as a principal character in an episode of the ABC series *What Would You Do?*, which is set to air on Hulu on November 6th at 8 PM. This opportunity marks a significant milestone in her acting career.

Carnessa's dedication to her craft has recently paid offโ€”she is now a SAG-eligible actress! This achievement is not just a personal triumph; it opens doors for her to elevate her acting career and share her talents with a broader audience. "Iโ€™m thrilled to accomplish this goal of mine earlier than expected," she shares.

One of Carnessaโ€™s standout performances was as Mary in the unreleased feature film *The First Days*. She enjoys stepping into the shoes of complex characters that differ from her own personality, allowing her to explore new dimensions of storytelling. Her journey into acting began in fifth grade, inspired by her teacher, Mrs. Telestai, who introduced her to musical theater through creative science parodies. This experience sparked a lifelong passion that led her to pursue theater courses and eventually film and commercial acting.

As Carnessa continues to balance her roles at Transystems and in the acting world, she is setting her sights on new horizons. For the first time, she plans to audition for projects outside of Idaho, aiming for a career-defining role that will allow her to forge lasting connections within the industry.

Carnessa believes that her acting experience enhances her performance at Transystems in several ways. From honing her communication skills to cultivating empathy and teamwork, she finds that her craft enriches her ability to connect with colleagues and manage her responsibilities as a project clerk. Furthermore, her skills in memorizing scripts translate seamlessly into retaining essential information for her job.
