Hi!

About Me

I'm kind of shy I guess. I live in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles. I'm an actress,model,dancer,etc. I've worked on two films, some tv (mostly reality shows), 3 or 4 music videos, theater, etc. I'm an alto. I was on the cover of a mens' magazine in Oct of 2000! I moved here from North Carolina in 2001. I was born in Florida, grew up in North Carolina. My parents, step-parents, and relatives live in North Carolina mostly. I'm probably not the brightest crayon in the box. And it's been hard to adapt. But I like Los Angeles. And I've made some really great friends! My night job is Cheetahs on Hollywood Blvd. Dancers there are not paid hourly. We, like some hairdressers, pay a fee to have space to work in. I've done some work just for my reel or to build my resume. I've been ripped off a couple of times I guess. I'd love to work on a soap! They'd probably want me to play the stripper (everyone does); but those are cool. I have bipolar 2 disorder which is not always the greatest.(I take seroquel every day) I'm also a dancer. I've danced since I was about 11 or 12. I had all those lessons: ballet, guitar, baton. I was a happy kid. We lived in the country in a two story brick house that my dad and mom built in a clearing surrounded by pine trees and hills. And I stayed with my grandmother and grandfather Gardner after school in North Carolina. I'm really grateful that I was brought up to be a Christian (I'm a Baptist). I have a wonderful family. I like to go on dates to the movies (simple stuff) I like McDonalds and In-and-Out Burger , although Yamashiro in Hollywood is also one of my favorites. I like the beach and Griffith Park especially up by the observatory. http://groups.myspace.com/bipolarsupport
