Although I do remember particular times in my life where I chose to move forward in my career as an actor, it's not just about what I do, but who I am.  Twenty something years ago I also became a wife, and a mom... and many other things along the way.  All of the things I have been and am, or have  become, have naturally influenced who I am as an actor both externally and internally. Recognizing all these valuable experiences, both in life and on every type of set,  in conjunction with wonderful acting coaches have informed and allowed me to grow into the more mature, focused actor I am today.  One of the most important lessons I've experienced is learning to laugh at life and myself.  I have a strong history of improv, and enjoy working with schools like The Groundlings. And one of my most unforgettable thrilling highlights in my career was performing some impromptu stunts as I turned into a raging Zombie on SYFY's TV series, Z- Nation.  The entire process as an actor, and the joy I gain in helping others in this business continues to fuel my never-ending passion for what is truly one of the most unique forms of art. 

I have been actively working again, and moving forward through what we all know as a continually changing new normal.  I believe there are constantly new discoveries to be made and enjoy working closely with one of the top coaches in LA as I am always fine tuning my craft and skill. I have had some fun opportunities working on some exciting commercial sets recently with my dog (pictured with me above from a recent T-Mobile Ad), and look forward to upcoming possibilities in both the Northwest and LA, and anywhere else this strangely beautiful career takes me next!
