About Me

I started singing at the age of five when I was living in Japan. My mom was in the military and when we transferred back to the states I became heavily involved in musical theatre. From there I started taking singing and acting lessons - dance had always been a part of my life - and more or less fell into professionally acting. I've been blessed to work pretty consistantly since 13. I starred in a Disney series called "The Jersey", was a series regular on CBS' "The Bold and the Beautiful" and a re-occurring guest star on ABC's "The Days". I've also worked on some films such as "Stepsister from Planet Weird", "The Thirteenth Year", "Sleepover", "The Duke", "The Yard Sale", "The Biggest Fan", and most recently "The Immaculate Misconception". In between my regular gigs I've also done various guest star and co-star roles on shows such as "Ghost Whisperer", "Campus Ladies", "Pacific Blue", "Home Improvement", "Veronica Mars", "Eyes", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Tru Calling", and "CSI: Miami". Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about my second forte: MUSIC. I love it. I breathe it. I live it! I'm constantly walking around singing, I love going to live shows, and I'm always learning from other artists who inspire in me things I've never felt before. I couldn't live without music! I have found incredible people who are helping me get my feet of the ground muscially and for them I am eternally grateful! Sometimes it takes a loving shove to push us into gear. So here I am fully in motion, hoping to inspire you the way so many before me have inspired me. Maybe you love my music, maybe you hate my music...either way I made you feel SOMETHING - and to me that's the greatest gift an artist can recieve.
