Hi !!!
I am a working actress based out of Columbus, OH. I've done a commercial or two, appeared in independent films, and most recently returned to live theatre, which I absolutely ADORE ! There's nothing like doin' it on stage... This past October I performed in a lead role in Noel Coward's "BLITHE SPIRIT", a production of The Club Theatre Co. (Checkout their page for upcoming shows !)
Although ACTING and singing are my first loves, occasionally I've been known to dabble in writing, producing, or doing makeup. I enjoy the whole independent filmmaking world as well and aspire to be a filmmaker when I grow up. Someday, with a little perseverance (and a lot of help from my collegues), I may actually crank out a little film. When I do, it'll be presented as a production of
Kinetic Art Films . Just watch for the windchimes...then you'll know it's by me !
..
But, for now, I'm happy to work in one capacity or another on projects with other Ohio filmmakers, such as,
BCB Productions, DeepBlueEdit , and Red Key Productions , and most recently, Tempered Zealot Productions . I'm always looking to share fresh ideas with other filmmakers, and I give 110% percent committment, whether I'm acting, writing, or just helping out behind the scenes. If you'd like to work with me, take a quick peek at my RESUME online, then contact me. I look forward to talking with you !
Additionally, since NETWORKING is KEY in the indie filmmaking industry, I actively attend a couple local networking venues such as the Columbus chapter of INDIE CLUB and M.O.F.A. (Mid-Ohio Filmmakers Assoc.), which are both FREE monthly gatherings of local independent filmmakers, directors, producers, cinematographers, actors, writers, musicians, and other awesome talents who contribute their invaluable expertise to the craft.
SPEAKING OF Networking... a quick plug:

Occasionally, my creative side comes out in the form of handcrafted jewelry, which is a great stress-relieving activity for me. Want more info? My website is NOW ACTIVE, but still UNDER REVISION !

On a Personal Note, I'm a very social person, so it stands to reason that I love making new friends from all over the globe. When I find the time, I read...otherwise, I watch entirely too much TV and tons of movies. In fact, I've been called a "movie slut" because I'll watch almost anything...so it's probably a good thing that I'm so involved with filmmaking (I gotta do my "research", right?). Occasionally, I'll actually spend time with my friends and family. If I'm lucky, our time together will be "quality" and we'll get to enjoy those great outdoor activities that I love, like camping, swimming, or horseback-riding.
I LOVE THE BLUE JACKETS !!!
I have a LOT of vices: Apple Martinis, Hot Chai tea lattes, full body massages, eBay, jewelry-making, the Sci-Fi Channel, Food Network, and....
NHL HOCKEY !!!
I kinda have a 'thing' for Goalies, especially. I gotta hand it to the guy who can do the splits with all that gear on, putting his rocks at risk. And every so often, he takes one for the team...OUCH ! Of course, living in Columbus, I am loyal to the BLUE JACKETS, but I also love Detroit, Edmonton, Toronto, Chicago, among others.
I also follow a little MLB & NFL, namely: Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox; Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
