My mom took me to the New York Worlds Fair when I was 10. We rode a bus all the way from San Francisco to New York. That is where I saw my first stage production: Oliver on Broadway. She also took me to see West Side Story when it came to theaters among other wonderful artistically done movies. I miss my mom. She was such a wonderful influence. From those moments on I knew I wanted to sing, act and be a creative dancer. I would practice in my living room to the soundtrack of West Side Story every time I got a chance, unfortunately the winds did not blow that way for me, which was fine because I was blessed with 6 wonderful children: Two by birth, four by blessing. 2002 would finally give me the opportunity to take the stage with Clear Blue Theatricals in Ellis County. I was fortunate enough gain experience in The Imaginary Invalid, Romeo and Juliet, Going to See The Elephant, Mask of Madness, Christmas Memories, Here Be Dragons, A Midsummer Nights Dream, The Wizard of OZ and Devils Rope: My jumping off place. Since then I have professionally advanced to film: Fat Girls, Hate Crime, Small Timers, The Bridge Breast Project , Americana, commercials, voiceover and television and lots and lots of training through some extraordinary teachers and a wonderful agent. Theater is my first love and I am so fortunate to be able to be associated with this hilarious, wonderfully written production.
The first ballet I ever saw was the Nutcracker, and I remember I kept waiting for someone to say something. Even though I knew there was no dialog in ballet. It was a beautiful production and swept me along a wonderful river of imagination.
