Ok. After a 4 year covid and post lockdown recovery break - I'M BACK!! (She says now, fully aware that something sparkly is going to distract her at any moment). A lot has happened in the past several years. Here are the nuts and bolts:
Was on the TV show Erin & Aaron
Learned how to administer polygraph exams and give them to celebrities for Vanity Fair
Was on the board for 3 years at the Morgan-Wixson Theatre in Santa Monica
Originated the role of Michelle in a new zombie musical called LOSING YOUR HUMANITY - This was such an honor and so fun!!
Won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for my portrayal of Camila in IN THE HEIGHTS. I'm still shocked. And this cast and crew is forever mi familia. <3 <3
Directed ROMEO & JULIET: CHOOSE YOUR OWN ENDING to wide acclaim. This cast was phenomenal and this show...what a journey.
Directed 3 years in a row for Little Fish Theatre's yearly production of PICK OF THE VINE - Incredible opportunity and so rewarding!!
Performed (finally!!) in Little Fish's PICK OF THE VINE - It's amazing the power that can come in just a few pages
Filmed a short film called the GODFATHER for Paul Guay (writer of great films like LIAR LIAR and HEARTBREAKERS)
Filmed CHERRY by international director Sophie Galibert
Got an agent in Hawaii (Please universe let me book something there!!)
Co-produced an investor reading of the feature film KRANDYLAND that we are producing.
And dabbled in some event planning and project management for Blessed Sacrament in Hollywood
And now.....I'm working on some personal projects and refocusing my energies. This year has been one of troubleshooting and realignment. It's been about what am I doing and why. Finding joy and love in everything despite so much crashing down around us. Fighting the fight and still living the life.
So that's the catch up and my goal moving forward is to start these posts back up again. I have an exciting one coming up in the drafts. I'm the guest on this awesome new podcast....ok no spoilers. More to come!!
