About Me

I am an Actor/Singer/Producer. I hail from San Diego, Texas...yes, you read it correctly....San Diego...TEXAS! I am a proud to say that I am a former Miss San Diego. I earned the title with my singing ability. The First Runner Up, Marissa Garcia, was no doubt, the most beautiful contestant. I was also awarded the "Most Talented" award at the Pageant as well as in my high school my Senior year. I was raised singing in the local Catholic Church thanks to talented and kind musical parents who also happend to be very active "Cursillistas".....needless to say the song "De Colores" was the theme song of the Day. I was a U.I.L. champion in High School and a bit of a mis-fit despite being popular. I was considered "wierd" I guess...in urban terms I was just "Artistic". Like most small town girls I took the first Greyhound Bus out to Austin with my graduation money. I wasted time studying Government and Politics in Undergrad because I thought that's what I need to get into Law School. In hind sight, I should've studied music or theatre since I ultimately dropped out of law school due to a lack of discipline and interest. I have loved and lived my life with a passion. I have made many mistakes and have grown from every one. I fly high with joy and tend to take the "half-full" approach to life....I'm an eternal optimist. I have been called crazy, sweet, and intelligent. Some of my ex-boyfriends swear that I have an evil twin. I admit that I am indeed a "mixed bag". I am about to pursue my dream of dreams despite the daunting road ahead. I am prepared to take all of the risks and feel that I have developed the skin to endure the the biz's sharp teeth. I love being my age since puberty has finally arrived(former ugly duckling...bad teeth and too skinny)...I have met the coolest people in my life just recently which excites me to forge ahead! I am wild at heart and I want to surround myself with talented, soulful people that are true.
