I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area. My parents divorced when I was little, so I was raised by my mom and grandmother, two of the most influential people in my life. I learned to be a strong woman by growing up with two strong women. We moved around a lot (I think that I have moved about 23 times) which is probably why I love change so much. I am known for constantly changing my hair color ,style, etc. I am always looking to reinvent myself.

I went to an all girls high school where I really discovered my love for performing. I think that it was my sophomore year when a new dance teacher, Cynthia Kaye, joined the faculty. Through her influence, I moved from behind the scenes in stage crew to being on the stage in performances. I even sang in front of an audience for the first time. She was always encouraging me to be the best I could be. I was in several dance performances, of which I only listed a few in my resume. I then tried out for cheerleading and made the squad.

When I graduated from high school, I really started to get the acting bug. I auditioned for the lead role in the movie "Walk on the Clouds". At the time, I really didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have a headshot or a resume; I guess I felt that I would just be "discovered". It was not until the last two years that I really started to educate myself on the business of acting. I read biographies on how many successful actors began their careers. To my dismay, I discovered that there really were no "overnight" sensations; most of the actors had been working for at least 10 years before reaching success. I decided to dedicate myself to my acting career. I obtained an agent, got my headshot done, and I have been pursuing it ever since.

You really have to love acting to pursue it as a career. Like most actors, I have found times when I just wanted to give up. But everytime I watch another actor perform, whether it be on stage or in a movie, I fall in love with acting all over again. I am fascinated by the way an actor can make me laugh or cry. I am an actor because I want to make people feel emotions through my acting. It is both challenging and rewarding. I truly believe in pursuing your dreams. We only get one chance on this Earth, why not live it to it's fullest.
