Acting
I can remember watching "The Carol Burnett Show" in 1977 and thinking that what I'm going to do, I'm going to entertain people. Well, life happened, I didn't become Carol Burnett, and I didn't follow my acting dreams; I followed life. Til now. After living for 30 years in the Bay Area, devoting my life to being a great mother and wife, here I am, pursuing my dream of acting. With a divorce behind me and my grown children living their own
lives, I have found support, friendships, and opportunities in the BFA Acting program at Academy of Art University. I’m honored and grateful to be an 8-time nominee for Best Actress at NXTUpfest, and I celebrate all the acting talent represented in this year’s 2024 Spring Show.
