I am an artist dedicated to the creative process. It is my greatest desire
to work with stage and film professionals who share my love of the medium
and the power it holds to affect the lives of its viewers.
My
performing experience began at an early age doing Children's Theater
with the Portland, Oregon based Playbox Players. I studied theater and dance at Jefferson High School
for Performing Arts, and perfomed with the regionally acclaimed Jefferson
Dancers. I went on to dance with Portland and San Francisco based dance
companies and choreographers for the next 20 years. In 2001 I participated in a production of The Vagina Monologues, for which I received accolades and a subsequent Tennie Award from local arts
reviewer Kevin Nance of the Tennessean (for Best Supporting Actress). My most recent theatre project was "Same Time, Next Year", which was performed at the Playhouse Theatre near Union Square in San Francisco.
I've done film projects as an actor and a dancer for various independent
film houses including Cinema West, Arora Production Studios,
Flashlight Productions, and Nashville's Watkins Film School. A few years ago, I played the lead in an independent feature titled Ratstar, written and directed by Christian Bergmans. Think Sigourney Weaver on a low budget. Think Aliens meets Rats for a styrofoam love story. I am currently working with Aisha Media on a feature project titled Under One Sun.

I
am constantly honing my craft, and seek like minded producers and directors
to make cutting edge, creative films which challenge us and our audience.
