a little story about me...

It has always been about make-believe for me. I find magic in exploring the possibilities behind being something and someone different. To wear the clothes, be in the place.... to play!

High School included lots of play, from speech & drama to flag corp. After graduation, my life as a gypsy began. Over the next 12 year, I had 14 addresses. The adventures included exploring various jobs, going to college (twice), interesting internships, and working with beautiful Southern California hotels. Along the way, I was able to model, be a beauty pageant queen, and do commercials. A highlight was working at Walt Disney World as an Attraction Hostess for Muppet Vision Theater. As a lifelong fan of everything related to the mouse, it was a dream.

Finally, I settled into the life with a steady career. Actually, two. I became an interior designer and had the privilege of designing boutique hotels and unique restaurants. I also started running a fabulous fitness and tennis club with my husband; as Club Director.

Life took over after that but I always found myself in the audience devouring the magic of storytelling on both the big and small screen. And more often than not, I would think... That looks like such fun... to be that character, play out that situation.

Over the years, there was this reoccurring thought about wanting to act. I always found reasons to say no, rationalize why it wouldn't work out, shove it to the back recesses of my mind. But it kept coming back. And then one day... ... I decided to say... YES! So, I asked my husband for acting classes as my Christmas gift.

From the minute I jumped into class, I found my passion. I felt like I had fallen into a perfect state of flow.

In retrospect, I realize that everything has lead me here:
What a better chance to experience something AND create an experience for an audience?
- my endless quest to try lots of different things
- always creating experiences for others thru my hospitality work and interior design.
