I have recently been told that I am a free spirit. I love LIFE! The ups the downs- I am very excited about what I will discover today. Ah, Rediscovery... So, I am originally from the small town of Jefferson City, Missouri. I grew up on a farm in the country playing with my little brother, Steve. My Mom and Dad put me in dance class at 2 years old ( I think to even out the tomboy in me) and it seemed to fit me like a glove. Dancing quickly became important to me and I got very serious about it- hitting the competition circuit and winning scholarships that took me to LA to train. I did my first musical at 9 - it was Annie ( but, they did not cast me as the title role). I was my first disappointment in the business, but that made me want to perform even more. I was a cheerleader in high school, a member of choir, and I was vice president of the Home Economics club because I thought it was funny. After highschool, I went away to college (3 hours away) to Missouri State University which used to be Southwest Missouri State University and thank God, they changed the name. I graduated 4 years later with a high GPA and a degree in Theatre performance. Oh, I also, did pageants since I was a kid and soon realized that to really be a pageant girl, I would have to put more focus on it- so I gave up my crown that was taking me to Miss Missouri ( in the Miss Amercia system) and took a job dancing at Walt Disney World. That was the beginning of my professional career. Since then, I have been very driven and lucky- I have travelled the world, met new people along the way, and surrounded myself with people I love. I am very optimistic - I try to live every day to it fullest potential. Oh, and I recently have discovered that I believe in soulmates. That's exciting! I like to have fun, take risks and eat lots of chocolate. That's me!
