I was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I had begun my acting career at age 7 playing the role of "Mary" at a local church. It wasn't until high school that I realized just how much singing and acting was in my blood. Following in my father's footsteps, I spent many years on stage performing in several community theatre productions.

Knowing that I wanted to be an actress, I began making plans to make a move to California, after high school, to pursue my dreams, but GOD said to me, “Oh no you don’t! I have greater plans for you here.”
In 2022, my husband and I celebrated out 33rd wedding anniversary and we are proud parents to one beautiful teenage daughter, who happens to be very skilled basketball player.

I worked as a 911 dispatcher in Fort Wayne, Indiana for 24 years. And then needing to do something different, I decided to step in front of the camera where I did a few local commercials. Then in 2009, I made my film debut in the faith based made-for-television movie, "The 18 Month Window" as 'Rae Ann Ramirez'. And I am extremely grateful that I am a part of the faith based film world right where I was raised ever since. I can now say that there is real meaning and purpose to my craft as I serve my Lord & Savior. One of my favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-8 which begins with “Trust in the Lord God with all your heart….”

Besides having been blessed with the opportunity to live out my passion as an actress, my biggest and most rewarding role ever is being a (basketball) mom and the wife of a retired firefighter.
