I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am an actress and a singer which makes me a very busy person. I'm also married and have a cat. I have done many different commercials in California as well as lots of independent films (mostly in the San Francisco area). I have worked with Channel 27 in Santa Cruz doing different shows for them. Besides doing independent films in San Francisco, I travel around California for different projects and auditions. My goal is to get a permanent role on a tv show or soap opera. I am very goal oriented and push myself hard towards my goals. If anybody needs a good dramatic actress for a film/tv/commercial project, or a singer for any event, please e-mail me and let me know. My rates are negotiable.For fun, I love to go dancing in clubs and singing in karaoke bars. I usually go to Coasters and Ideal in Santa Cruz. Coasters is my favorite karaoke bar. They are both great places with lots of fun people around. I have made many good friends in these venues. I like to go dancing in clubs such as Avalon in Santa Clara (their once a month 80's parties) and Blue Lagoon in Santa Cruz the most. I also go to Club Aura in Pleasanton. I also enjoy walking around beach towns such as Santa Cruz, Monterey, Walnut Creek and Carmel and going to their restaurants with my husband. I am energetic and love to take long walks. I am a big fan of Las Vegas, especially of the shopping there.I have many different friends in different areas of my life. I enjoy parties and social events and tend to host a lot of parties for my friends. I'm always busy; definitely not a homebody. To me, every day is an important day. I think every day should be lived and enjoyed to its fullest because life is very precious. I am an honest person and good natured. I have my own mind and my own beliefs about things. I don't drink or smoke. I have a great time and can let my inhibitions go without doing that. I am always the first person on the dance floor in a club or in a karaoke bar. I have no inhibitions about getting up and dancing. I will also get up and sing in any karaoke bar or at a party. It is good practice for me for when the singing auditions come around. I can't stand negative, jealous people. It seems like there are a lot of people out there who hate life and themselves and take it out on others. They often hate others whom they wish they were like. They are rude and ignorant people who can't deal with their jealousy and that is a shame. People should learn to work on themselves and enjoy life instead of hating other people. I tend to worry a lot. I am a big planner. I am always organizing and planning things in my life. I like to keep things in order and make sure everything is settled in my life at all times. I exercise a lot. I take several aerobics classes every week. When I'm home, if I'm not cleaning (which I do a lot of), I write to my friends, talk on the phone or read. I enjoy going out to movies and attending county fairs as well. I love animals; especially cats. I hate anyone who would hurt an animal; if a person has something against precious animals who need our love and care, they have a serious mental problem. I will always defend animals no matter what.

My Interests

Singing, dancing and acting. I studied tap, jazz and ballet for many years. I used to perform as a dancer a lot. Now I only do it occasionally (most recently for Channel 27 in a music, dance and poetry special). I have done professional singing recordings for films and commercials. I used to do a lot of stage musicals. I enjoy reading inspirational books such as Spiritual Growth and the Joy of Living. I recently took a class called "The Secret of Abundance" which was an excellent course. I also read the book "The Secret" and highly recommend it. It is about bringing abundance and success into your life. Since I often have trouble with faith, this was an excellent book and course for me to study. I love trying out new restaurants and shopping malls. I'm interested in astrology as well as psychic abilities. I am definitely a Capricorn who is organized, determined, passionate, loyal and caring. I love animals, especially cats and donate to animal organizations regularly. I think everybody should because so often animals in shelters are forgotten. People don't realize that they need money in these organizations to provide for the animals. Children are well provided for in this country but animals are not so I'm hoping more people will become aware of this and donate to these organizations and adopt pets.

I'd like to meet:

Directors, Casting Directors, Agents and Producers. I am a good actress and am always looking for more work. I would like to audition for anyone casting feature films, tv shows, commercials, soap operas, industrials, etc. I am always ready to take on more roles. Please feel free to contact me if you think I might be right for a particular role or to invite me to any networking parties as I enjoy those very much.

Music:

80's music as well as broadway music. I think Expose and Billy Idol are great singers. Boy George and George Michael are also favorite singers of mine. Their music is so wonderful it puts me in a trance. I also love high energy and house music.

Movies:

Horror movies. I have been in a lot of independent thriller movies (including Telezombie, Sometimes Everybody Dies, Halloween: Curse of the Smoke O'Lantern) and I enjoy going to see them as well.

Television:

Two and A Half Men and Adventures of the Old Christine for the comedies and CSI Miami for the best drama series.

Books:

The Secret, The Joy of Living and Spiritual Growth. All positive thinking books that encourage people to bring good things into their lives.

Heroes:

Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan. All of our soldiers fighting for this country.
