At the tender (yet quite precocious) age of four, I was cast as the title role in my preschool play of “The Little Red Hen” and thus my love of performing was born. That one little taste of stardom has sparked a lifelong drive to bring joy, wonder, merriment, and delight to all my audiences!
Some entertainers do it for the fame, others for the accolades.
What drives me personally in everything I do? The desire for others to share in my happy, even if just for a short time. Happiness is a choice - one I consistently make, day after day, month after month, year after year, and now I am blessed in that I have plenty to share.
When I’m not on the stage, I reside in East Cobb, a suburb of metro Atlanta. I love trying new vegan restaurants around the city. I travel pretty frequently and the most amazing place I’ve ever visited was France. I was in Paris and Normandie and fell in love with everything. Don’t be surprised if I move there some day. The most random place I’ve ever been was Midland, Texas. Y’all gotta get a Buc-ee’s out there or something.
Because of my trip to France and discovering that I am actually not gluten intolerant in Europe, my latest hobby is baking bread using imported French wheat. You know, in case you needed a sense of how committed I am to carbs. My god have I missed good bread.
I’m really a costume collector - calling myself a costume hoarder, while probably more accurate, would imply I have a problem and need help, which I have no intention of admitting. I have costumes (or kit in the living history world) from the American Revolution all the way up to the 60s, with plenty of Halloween-quality costumes in between. One of the coolest pieces in my collection is an antique fan that was once carried by a debutante being presented to King George V and Queen Mary of England.
I currently have 11 belly dance costumes in my closet. They all have names because they are all pieces of art. Ask me which one I’m wearing next time you see me perform!
Yes, my hair is naturally blonde. Yes, it is all mine. =)
