Biography

I was born in Okinawa, Japan on a military base while my father served as an Intelligence Officer in the Air Force. The story goes, there was a typhoon coming in while I was being born, so I guess I came into the world with a bang. 

 

From showing off as a 1st grader performing in school, to watching MTV with wide-eyes when I came back from the States as a young girl, I have loved everything about entertaining and the entertainment business.

 

Shortly after I was born, my family moved to the Saudi Arabia in the Middle East where my father then worked as an international contractor. After seven years, when it became too dangerous for my family to live over there, I moved with my mother and siblings to my grandmother’s farm in the little town of Jerome, Idaho. We then moved to Utah, where my mother quickly enrolled me into dance, modeling and acting classes until leaving to start my career in Los Angeles.

 

I have been fortunate to have a successful career as a performer, including experience as a runway and print model, company spokesmodel, indie actress and event hostess. My assignments have taken me around the country; from Southern California, my current hometown Las Vegas as well multi-city national assignments (for example, I worked a 10-city runway bridal fashion show for David's Bridal for three years). I’ve also performed in music videos, TV commercials and digital ads.

 

From that start, I progressed into writing and production. Writing poetry has been a passion of mine for most of my life. I recently completed a full-length screenplay that takes place in the 1930’s, now registered with the Writer’s Guild, and co-produced a spoken word album with my original lyrics.

 

My personal interests include horseback riding, traveling, art, music, comedy shows, swimming and cooking. I recently received my B.A. majoring in Psychology and minoring in Business Administration from Nevada State College in Henderson, Nevada.
