I'm an Art Director, Model, Actor and Stuntwoman. A quadruple threat of sorts. The first 6 years of my career, I worked full-time at different advertising agencies: Young & Rubicam, D'Arcy and UniWorld Group. I produced TV, print and outdoor campaigns for a number of accounts including: Pepsi, Burger King, 3Musketeers, Palmolive, Icehouse, Crest, Scope, Progresso Soup, USPS and Blockbuster.

After 6 years of creating ads, I thought why not try and be in some of them too? I'm in New York City after all. So 10 years ago, I transitioned my full-time career into a freelance capacity in order to pursue work as a model and actor. I have appeared in print and internet ads for Skip Hop, Budweiser and XpresSpa. My feet and legs have been featured in print and outdoor campaigns for Aerosoles, Target and Rocawear. Showroom shoe modeling for clients such as Nine West, Kenneth Cole and Max Studio has been a steady gig since 2003. My most recent job was as a stunt double for Meagan Good on the NBC pilot "Notorious".

It makes no difference whether I create the ad or whether I'm in it, I just want to be a part of the process. My passion for great creative work shines through no matter what role I play. Having experience on both ends of the spectrum in this industry gives me an advantage over the competition as well.

I graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Advertising in 1992. I continued my studies at Portfolio Center and graduated in 1996 with an emphasis in Art Direction and Graphic Design. I'm fully proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Quark. I'm also a member of SAG-AFTRA and the New York Film Society.
