Biography
I am born and raised in Los Angeles. After high school I went to work for a Worldwide Temporary housing company for 9 years. This is where I most of my interest in acting, modeling, and commercial work . One of our largest offices handled all of the corporate entertainment business, so I became very involved Also, much of what I did and was trained in was promotional work, marketing events, and large private functions for Fortune 500 clients. My title was Manager of Sales Administration, and I received a lot of training by the company and enjoyed it tremendously to the point I began facilitating most events. The other side of my job was managing employing, 52 in four different offices, budgets, H/R management, Financials, and Accountiing.
During my employment I took a class at Kalmanson & Kalmanson for V/O and enjoyed it. Then I started working with a private acting coach for two years and enjoyed that as well and was told to pursue. She did many years of work in the industry. I then took 3 years of vocal and script reading classes, private. All the training gave me the most enjoyment and that is why I know this industry is a fit for me. After 9 years, I decided to give this a chance, never wanted to look back and wish I had tried to work in the entertainment field.
Resume's, revues, or direct contact can be made with management if needed.
I also did extra work on and off and was offered a part on 90210, but at the time my Father had passed and couldn't dedicate myself 100% so I declined.
