This is a crazy damn industry-however, the performing arts began as a hobby of mine simply because it is my one true love. Before I began my professional career in the industry, I took Acting classes at Venue Theatre. Our assignment was to get headshots, create a resume (consisting of my school experience in performing) and to submit for auditions. The first audition I submitted for was a movie called “Filthy”, where I was asked to read for the role of an inbred transient. Oh yessss, I landed the role and the rest is history.
“Filthy” screened and earned more than 23 awards at film festivals  around the country. From there, and to my surprise, I stayed consistently busy modeling for magazines.

I did commercial ads, was hired for infomercials and hosting Born to Ride motorcycle lifestyle television events while earning roles in movies being shot around the country. I traveled the convention circuit as a special guest networking and meeting loyal fans.

One time I was walking through Wal-Mart and 

Soon I landed a role in one of the  “Godfather of Gore’s” final films. “The Uh-Oh Show”. Through my friendship with Brooke McCarter (The Lost Boys), I met (who would later become my business partner in film), Thomas J. Churchill, who was looking to cast the leading role for his feature film “The Emerging Past” (EP) , shot in NY. EP won best horror feature at the NYC International Film Festival 2 times. EP sold out the theatre and had to be screened again to accommodate guests for a 2nd sold out screening. EP screened at the Full Moon Horror Film Fest, and I was soon informed that I won Best Actress in a Horror feature. It felt so great to take home a trophy when I had no idea that was in the works. I worked on several  films and also won Best Actress at the Florida Motion Picture and Television Association’s  prestigious Crystal Reel Awards for a short film I co-wrote with good friend and Attorney/Playboy Photographer Bo Hitchcock and Produced by Rick Danford. 

I later earned an industry referral to train with one of the most sought after Acting Coaches to the stars in Hollywood, Howard Fine. Howard Fine has worked one on one with top award winning  actors. His client list spans from James Belushi to Amanda Bynes,  Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Justin Timberlake, Salma Hayek, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Oscar winner Hillary swank and many more .

After the recent release of the latest feature, Check Point, an Action film based on domestic terrorism, where I play Libby which was Written and Directed by Thomas J. Churchill and stars William Forsythe, Bill Goldberg, Kenny Johnson (SOA, The Shield), Ricky Harris (Everybody Hates Chris) and Tyler Mane, conversations came up in regard to Producing the next SAG Action film with Thomas J. Churchill and Ron Galletti of Born to Ride TV and Magazine while we were at a motorcycle event promoting Check Point. That movie, called “Nation’s Fire” came to fruition.  NF stars 2 time Academy Award nominee Bruce Dern (Nebraska), Gil Bellows (Shawshank Redemption) MMA Champ Chuck Liddell, Kristen Renton (Sons of Anarchy), Rusty Coones (SOA) and is Executive Produced Funded by Krisa Grotte Saxon, Robert Ori and Jerry Roberts.

Additional Executive Producers include the Oscar and Emmy winning Hollywood Media Bridge. Producers include Churchill Productions, Andy Lalino of Metropol Productions, Apothecary Entertainment and Carmine Famiglietti. Nation’s Fire is my proudest work to date, this movie is very personal to me. It was a magical experience during production and well worth the one year of struggle in putting this concept to fruition. However- DISTRIBUTION WAS A NIGHTMARE. #VISIONFILMS RAPED US.

I am a proud mother and business professional with Planning Technology, Inc., an aviation Software Development company. We develop custom software for airports airside and landside OPS. NYC automated taxi system is our design and development. My claim to fame is a new application designed for TNC’s such as Uber and lyft to access the airports while being tracked via geo-fence with the  boundaries defined by each individual airport. This software gives airports control of their curbside operations with independent data collection and enforcement. There is currently no software like it!
