About me:

I’ve been acting in film for the past three years. It started out somewhat slow because I had to learn the craft as I obtained roles. I was lucky to find my first role somewhat by accident. A good friend of mine took me to the set of “BRIMSTONE” to be an extra for a party scene. Unfortunately the directors leading lady was a no show. I had a look he was interested in using for the lead and he took a chance on me. From then on I was hooked. After that I acted in several shorts, as well as another feature length film “THE DEVILS PLAYGROUND” as one of the leads. I’ve also been an extra in a couple of films, one of which is “OLD HABBITS DIE HARD”, I’ve done a music video, and commercial for a Kentucky Haunted House. My most recent acting work was on the film “RED RIVER” as the Defeated Girl. Acting has become my passion and film is the canvas upon which I can capture my art. I’m constantly learning and trying to improve my craft. I love having the opportunity to work with seasoned actors and learn from their techniques, as well as spending time developing my own. I’m an actress who’s willing to get outside of her comfort zone, if it means the film will be better for it. I live for the roles that push me, the roles that dare me to be someone besides myself. If you’re a filmmaker interested in working with me please don’t hesitate to contact me here on MySpace. I would love to hear about your project and see if I can be of any help.
