About Me


I am originally from Maryland. Nice place to grow up, but I've moved around a bit and have lived in some great places like San Diego and Toronto. Until the wind blows me in another direction (maybe back to California??) I am in Florida.
I LOVE to travel, seriously could you tell?! Been to some truly awesome places on this beautiful planet. Some of my favorite trips were to Africa, Japan, Europe, and the South Pacific. Here in the US I have a real soft spot for Yosemite and Hawaii. Still waiting for the chance to explore Alaska.
I'm very adventureous and I'll try anything once that won't cost me life or limb (even though I've done a few of those and wouldn't you like to know what they are?!)Got to live life to the fullest and have as many laughs as you can while doing it!

My dad took this pic of my brother and I hot air ballooning in Africa. That trip had a very profound affect on me. So grateful to have had the opportunity to go there.
This is one of the first pictures I had published. It was taken in the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya.
I worked for Professional Yachtsman and Olympic Medalist Dennis Conner during the 1995 America's Cup Race. Here I am on the Stars & Stripes sailing in San Diego Harbor. Love being near the water. Pretty sure I was a mermaid in a previous life.
I have 2 Bachelor's Degrees from the University of Maryland (Towson Univ. campus): Mass Communications w/an emphasis on film and creative writing and the other in Art History. Done some pretty cool stuff with my education like working on films and in museums.
Very excited that in August '08 I got to participate as an extra in the video shoot for Lifehouse's song "Broken." Such a fun day hanging out on the set, catching up with friends, chatting with the band, and watching Director Kiefer Sutherland in action!
...and here it is
I spent 2 months working on the set of Major League 2. Not a great film, but one of the best times of my life!
"The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself." - Alan Alda
During the summer 2007 I spent time on the Goo Goo Doll's Street Team as a volunteer helping with food donations for USA Harvest. The Let Love In tour collected over 1 million items for needy folks around the country. I am very proud to have been a part of that (always good to give back) and I've met some amazing people along the way.
Anyone who knows me knows of my undying love for animals and what a BIG part they have played in my life. I worked with horses for many years.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I've already met many of the people I've wanted to but left on the list are: Al Gore, Director Steven Spielberg and my sports hero Cal Ripken Jr., Roland Orzabal whose music has deeply touched me. Wish I could have had the honor of meeting artist Robert Rauschenberg.

Of course the BEST people I've met are the AMAZING friends I've made over the years (and you know who you are!)I am the luckiest girl in the world to have friends who love and support me the way they do. Here's me and one of very best friends Heather after the best road trip ever!

What would I do without Brenda, Elaine and the rest of my Cali girls!

Well, now I can die a happy woman b/c I've met Russell Crowe. Yes, that is the back of my head. When I asked my (ex)husband to take a picture of me with Russell, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind. Now you know why I take all the pictures!

Oh yeah, these guys were all cool to meet too:
GOO GOO DOLLS

Yes Mike, my heart does beat for the Goo Goo Dolls. Thanks for checking!

The Lifehouse boys are simply the best! Sorry Bryce, I couldn't resist!

BEN!

BRYCE!

RICK!

JASON!

One too many Red Bulls before the video shoot I think!

Check out all the Lifehouse boys rockin it!
