Biography
Tripped and fell into being an actor...ok I was pushed!
Started out by being hired to run lines and do self tapes with a friend who's been a working actor for over 20 years. After my first day I was asked "Have you ever thought about doing this for a living?" To which my reply was a deep belly rolling burst of laughter! After 3 weeks of multiple tapings my friend would not stop pressing me to give this a shot, which mind you she tells everyone to run for their lives from this career, so I told her I would if she would finally leave me alone about it...and here I am.
I was born and bred into sales within the fine art industry and I never thought I would ever enjoy my J-O-B so much until I became a paid actor! I started out working full time doing back ground right from the get go and am now happy to say I have done an indie movie, a few principal commercial gigs, photo double and stand-in work after only 6 months. I love my life and feel so blessed everyday I am on set getting to do what I now know I am truly passionate about and learning and expanding each and every time!
I look forward to working with you!
