I was born and raised in New Braunfels, Texas but currently reside in a house with my two cousins and fabulous roommate, Brenda right here in San Antonio. I am currently pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. I knew since I was a little girl that I wanted to be an actress, but I received my true calling for the craft my senior year in high school after not making the cheerleading squad. I then joined the theatre class and realized that this is what I wanted for my career. I have been actively pursuing it ever since. It is my life blood and I cannot see myself ever doing anything else. I believe it is a gift that God put in my heart and to not pursue it would be a sin. Every day I make active strides to get better in what I love to do. I work for Calliope Talent, Model, and Artist Management in San Antonio as the Talent Developmental Administrator. By being a staffer in Calliope’s office I feel I have gained knowledge and an education that I can implement in my career, life, and also pass along to other actor’s who share the same passion! Through dedication and ALOT of help and support I have added credits for commercials, industrials, print campaigns, music videos, reality TV, and film to my resume. I am also apart of San Antonio’s National Comedy Theatre Improv Troop which performs at the River Center Comedy Club in the center of downtown San Antonio every third Monday of every month. NCT is now also performing every Friday night at the Overtime Theater on West Avenue. I train consistently with casting directors, agents, and acting coaches from Texas and LA. I am always striving to be in class, on a set, on stage, or auditioning. My goal is to be an actor that works in both the LA and the Texas market. Those who know me professionally know I work hard, those who know me personally know I play hard! I try to live everyday for the glory of God. I try to make the best of every day I am given. I am multifaceted. I love to sing, dance the night away, read a great book, workout, crack jokes and wine night! I recently just competed in "Diana Chaloux's FAME South Central Championships & Sports Expo" where I competed in the bikini division in San Antonio on May 3, 2008. At this point in my life and career, I am ready to reach my fitness goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The competition was a great jump start. Check out the pics! I have a great family that is supportive, loving and always there for me. I have friends that are always down for me. Most importantly I have God in my life. I'm not one to always make the right decision but he helps me to keep trying. Who am I? I’m smart, funny, crazy, obsessive, impulsive, a lover, a fighter, a Christian, messy, charming, silly, loyal, but most of the time I’m just straight hood! Below, you can watch me in action in Rick Trevino's "Separate Ways" music video!
