Creative Scholarships / Performances
As a performer, my career has spanned 35 years and I have worked in film, television, theatre, commercials, and print/commercial modeling. Whether creating new works, being a soccer mom for Toyota, singing in a musical, or guest starring in a children's sci-fi series, I have led and continue to lead the life of a professional actor and performing artist. Over the last 10 years my work has been rooted in activism, female empowerment, and border consciousness.
