Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a singer but not just any old singer; a rockstar! I remember taping off my room to make a “stage”, placing my teddy bear friends in the audience, and jamming out to Whitney Houston while my sister would record me from different angles like those cheesy 80’s music videos. Every Friday night was “concert” night where I would invite all my fans (Hello, Mom and Dad) to watch my sister and I perform. I owe a lot of my musicals skill to her.

Then I got into this thing called acting and when I figured out how to combine the two, I decided to pursue it head first and got my B.F.A degree in musical theatre from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. I guess along the way I got tired of being on land so I decided to find my "sea legs" and travel the world on a floating tin - also known as a cruise ship.  

As a full-time performer and part-time explorer, I've gotten some incredible opportunities to perform all over the world. I've even gotten the amazing opportunity to create my own guest entertainer show called Broadway...with a twist and "The Women of the 60's".
