I am happy to be embarking on my career as an actress. I have lived a full life starting as a professional ballet dancer for Utah Ballet and Richmond Ballet. I then taught Dance, PE, Home Economics, and Health in a High School for 10 years. I produced, choreographed and directed 2 dance performances a year, choreographed the school musicals, and choreographed an award winning show choir. Recently, I have studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, The Groundlings and The Second City.
