Soon, work became more steady and her love and passion for the art of acting grew with each project and class.

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and spoiling our 2 dogs. I enjoy riding horses, and reality television.

My most recent work this year includes wrapping the Music Video “BANK” for Russian Pop Star Maya, where I was featured as a bank teller in a 1950’s bank robbery. We wrapped the critically acclaimed TV series pilot “Violent Jake,” where I play a hit man. In the suspense thriller “True Romance,” I play the lead character ex-cop Cliff. Recently, I completed the film “The Fence Line” including a scene opposite the lead Nick Scoggin. In the movie drama “Renouncing Angelica” I played a screaming, angry car driver opposite the lead.
