From a young age, she was nurtured on the rolling hills of a dairy farm in the heart of Southern Illinois, where the rustic charm of rural life would later serve as a rich foundation for her future endeavors. As she grew older, her innate passion for the performing arts led her to pursue a dual degree in Theater and Business at the esteemed Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
With a Bachelor's degree in hand, she made the bold decision to leave the familiarity of her hometown behind and set her sights on the City of Angels, relocating to Los Angeles in 1992. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life, as she immersed herself in the vibrant world of entertainment and began to hone her craft.
Years later, in 2013, she took her talents to the bright lights of New York City, where she appeared in an off-Broadway production that showcased her impressive range as a thespian. The allure of the Big Apple proved too great to resist, and she soon made the city her primary residence.
However, her artistic pursuits are not her only claim to fame. In 1999, she took the entrepreneurial leap and founded her own accounting firm, which has since become a respected authority in the realms of entertainment and corporate financing. With offices in both Los Angeles and New York City, her firm provides expert tax consulting and financial guidance to a diverse range of clients.
