At
age two I started taking ballet, tap and jazz. I
loved to sing and dance and show off in any way
possible (and obviously still do!). Somehow, I found
time to slip in a year of baton too! Around my third
grade year we all moved to Waco, Texas, where a
ton of my relatives already lived. My parents figured
it would be safer to raise me in a small town versus
the big city (little did they know that Waco was
wacko!). Looking back, Waco was really boring, but
I'm sure I did have more freedom living there. Everyone
seemed to make the best of what the city had to
offer. Well, during my senior year I had the opportunity
to be in a video for a local band. The producer
of the project thought that I should be in New York
modeling and proceeded to pitch the idea to my parents.
That Christmas my family and I ended up going to
New York to have some pictures taken and meet with
some agencies. I was soooo nervous! By the end of
our trip I had an agent who was waiting for me to
graduate and move to the Big Apple.
That was
the beginning of me working with various magazines
and doing a bit of traveling. Amongst my travels
I hit such places as Japan, Paris, Milan, Australia,
Taiwan and Hong Kong. How lucky was I to get paid
to travel and see the world at the same time?! Finally,
I made it back to the good ol' USA. There really
is no place like home! After spending an awesome
season in South Beach, Miami I made my way out to
LA. I started out with the Ford Modeling Agency
and have since moved to Elite Model Management.
Within a couple of weeks of arriving in LA I ended
up booking a Taco Bell commercial. Maybe it wasn't
as scary as I pictured it after all! In no time
I had relocated to LA and joined an acting class.
I guess that was the beginning of the rest of my
life! Before I knew it I had met my soul mate and
started booking acting jobs. I have been fortunate
enough to have great people helping me with my career
all along the way. |
