Driven by Passion and Purpose
My favorite song is song called, "Vivir Mi Vida" performed by Marc Anthony. "Vivir Mi Vida" is about living life to the fullest. I’m an internationally trained actor with a passion for travel, languages and cool cars.
During my acting training, I have enjoyed the sun-drenched weather in Los Angeles, walked on the crowded, bustling streets of New York City and carried a big golf umbrella during the misty, rainy days in London.
I have a BA in Spanish. My MA is in Applied Linguistics from Old Dominion University. I have taught Spanish and English as a Second Language. I have played Duck, Duck, Goose with energetic, giggling Kindergartners, encouraged reluctant teenagers to come out of their shells and helped graduate students prepare research papers on the Yaqui and Seri languages of Northern Mexico.
I have ridden through the lush, green jungle on an aerial gondola in Costa Rica, I have yachted off the breezy, spectacular northern Mexico coast and I have enjoyed the breath-taking views from the Arabian palace of La Alahambra in Granada, Spain.
When I'm not working, I can be found spending time with my family, playing with my two naughty but sweet cats and enjoying exquisitely prepared plant-based homemade meals. When the weather is warm and sunny, I love putting on my sunglasses, and my big blue floppy hat driving down to the sandy shore of Cape May, NJ, cranking up the tunes and cruising with the top down in my little red convertible.
