Crescentia's early life was marked by a sense of adventure, as she was born in San Mateo, California, but soon relocated to Washington State, where she spent her childhood. This move had a profound impact on her, as she developed a passion for dance, completing five years of tap, ballet, and jazz classes at the esteemed Dancing for Joy studio under the tutelage of Joy Ozier. Her mother, Beverly Gorman, played a significant role in nurturing this interest, as she made costumes for Crescentia's recitals, fostering a creative and artistic environment.
As her parents divorced, Crescentia moved with her mother and sisters to the Imperial Valley in California, and later to Redlands, California, where she spent her middle school years. Her academic prowess was evident, as she graduated from high school in Clintonville, Wisconsin, earning an academic letter and numerous medals for her outstanding performance on the school's forensics team, which focused on speech and drama.
Crescentia's academic pursuits took her to Mt. Mary College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she studied fashion design. She then accepted an internship at Contemporary Designs in Tacoma, Washington, under the guidance of Jacqueline Marusic, which provided her with valuable experience in garment construction and millinery. This opportunity led her to relocate to Dubuque, Iowa, where she would eventually establish a successful career.
Crescentia's educational journey continued at the Madison Media Institute in Madison, Wisconsin, where she earned a degree in Video and Motion Graphics in 2007. Following her graduation, she relocated to York, Pennsylvania, before eventually returning to Dubuque, where she became involved with the Great River Film Initiative, a organization dedicated to supporting local filmmaking. She has since contributed to the production of numerous short films and projects, including the feature film Easton's Article, which was released in 2010.
Crescentia's talents extend beyond the realm of filmmaking, as she has also had a successful career in the performing arts. In 2011, she took on a lead role in the stage production of Recent Tragic Events, playing the dual roles of Joyce and Nancy. She has also lent her skills to the haunted attraction Dark Chambers in Dubuque, where she has contributed to the design, decorating, and acting aspects of the production.
In addition to her professional pursuits, Crescentia is a devoted wife and mother of three beautiful children. In 2011, she officially opened Gotta Give 'Em Props, a prop rental house that serves the film and stage production communities in Dubuque. Throughout her life, Crescentia has demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt, grow, and excel in a variety of fields, making her a true renaissance woman.
