Born and Raised in North Idaho. Home schooled till 7th grade, attended a school for dyslexia for 2 years then finished high school at Falls Christian Academy. Life was filled with Camping in the woods and volunteering at Cocolalla Bible Camp in their Horsemanship Program. I enjoyed performing in skits and plays at camp and in church. Mission trips gave me a great flare for drama and clowning. I joined a Drama team while attending Moody Northwest Bible College. My first business adventure was selling home-grown plums on my card table at the end of my Street when I was about 9yrs old. I formed clubs with my cousins and found joy in simple things. At age 16 I became a Summer Missionary and trained to be the Horsemanship Director for Cocolalla Bible Camp ( CLBC )
My family went to a church camp out and met my knight-in-shining-camp-gear at age 17. He shared my values and morals; a gentle man and extremely smart. We saw each other again a year later, dated for 21 months, engaged for 3 months, and married July 13th 1996. One week later I was back at camp directing their horse program again for the 5th year.
I worked for Independent services Taking care of the elderly for the first 5 years. I Started doing business out of my home as a Creative Memories consultant. I've been with the company since 2000 I love helping people organize their photos faster than they ever dreamed possible and making it easy for every one to make a classy, clean, family album from the quality products I sell. I received an email from a business group I was involved in asking for extras for the movie End Game with Cuba Gooding Jr. They needed a crowd of people. When I emailed my photo and experience I was contacted by Becky Reilly From Big fish to play secret service. What a blast! I had no idea you could get paid to act in the Northwest. I was called back a second day for a different scene again having the time of my life. After compliments from others and prompting from Becky Reilly's emails I decided to take a Commercial acting work shop. Wow what a ball, I don't remember when I have had so much fun.
When the classes were completed I was booked for my first commercial. A well paying job was the icing on the cake. I was hooked for good. I Started doing other commercials and decided to take more training from Todd Jensen. After months of training- about 12- 20 hours per week- I began to teach classes for him while he shot movies in Bulgaria. Fall of 2006 I decided to open The Acting Center in Post Falls Idaho. Designed to help those people like me who didn't know their was paying work for commercials and movies in our local area. We expanded shortly after with more instructors coming on board to teach Modeling, Voice, Advanced acting, Hip Hop and basic Ballroom, Cha Cha and Salsa lessons.
My husband Is a wonderful business man I love very much. He owns Affordable Homes, a company that builds homes for those needing a starter home or smaller retirement home in Idaho . No children are planned and we look forward to what God has in store for our lives each day.
