Summary
The last five years I went back to a Industry I always enjoy since High School. The art to Entertain. The last three years. I found a love to Entertain Children. Their sweet personalities are so easy to engage. As well fun. Reading Stories has become more of a passion as well a Blessing for me. I found a way to create the characters in the book to come to life. I love to give a person a few minutes of happiness to carry with them after they leave my shows.
I worked in the Film Industry and enjoy the acting of being someone else. I learn so much from behind and in front of the camera.
