I discovered my love for acting in 2021 when I was asked to don a fake beard and fill in for an ailing Santa at an event for foster children. I was so moved by the experience, I vowed never to shave again. In 2022, I dove headlong into acting. Since then I have appeared in many projects ranging from plays and commercials and short, vertical and feature films. For twenty years, I worked as a school-visiting author-illustrator and creator of over 200 murals nationwide. I am more than thrilled to be combining all three vehicles to tell powerful stories rife with engaging characters through film.
