My “gypsy” blood comes from having been born and raised abroad.
The daughter of a U.S. diplomat, I was born in Manila, the Philippines.
The next 18 years of my life were spent living and traveling overseas
with my parents, Sonia and George, and my sister, Rebecca, who is
now a psychologist in Los Angeles, California. From the Philippines,
we moved to Venezuela, Korea, the Fiji Islands, Ireland, Ecuador,
Okinawa; and I’ve been blessed to have visited many other parts of
the world since my childhood.

My first foray into acting was as Bottom, in “A Midsummer Night’s
Dream”, at Park House, an all girls' school in Dublin, Ireland. This role
was followed by several others during the 6 years I was there. I
eventually found my way to L.A. and graduated, with honors, from
California State University, Northridge, with a B.A. degree in Theatre
Arts. At first, I had planned on becoming a physical therapist, but
when I received my only C, in Biology, during my first semester, and
was then told by a university counselor that, as a result of my
vocational and personality tests (and the fact that I was a Gemini), I
would probably never graduate so it didn’t really matter what I
majored in, I switched to Theatre Arts. I did graduate, with honors, but
when I went to show the counselor my diploma, I was very
disappointed to find that he was no longer there. So much for his
longevity.

I have worked in theatres across the country from L. A. to the
southeast, garnering various awards for my work, including the
South Florida Critics' Association’s Carbonell Award for Best Actress
for “The Music Lesson” at Florida Stage, and several nominations for
Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Ensemble for
various shows. Please see my resume’ for specific credits. Having
been raised abroad, I have a great facility for dialects, accents and
languages.

In my spare time, I write poetry, make jewelry, and am an amateur
photographer; and I adore traveling and discovering new places.

I’m a proud member of Screen Actors Guild (SAG), Actors' Equity
Association (AEA)and American Federation of Television & Radio
Artists (AFTRA). Thank you for exploring my site.
