- Tell us about yourself:
- I began acting at the age of ten as a result of my best friend convincing me to go to an audition with her while growing up in Tulare, Ca. I was surprised to be cast as Peaseblossom the Fairy in A Midsummer Night's Dream at Encore Threatre and it was during that same run that I discovered my passion for acting and found that I had a hankering for theatrical hair and makeup.
Since that day I have been involved in more than 50 stage productions through performing, stage managing, set construction/painting, hair and makeup, costuming, anything I could really get my hands on. I worked with school and community theatres and also worked with the San Joaquin Valley Actors Repertory Company where I worked on my improvisational skills. Behind the scenes I specialized in period hair and makeup as well as old age makeup and finding a great time with special effects makeup.
My whole life I've been involved in the arts, starting with drawing and cartooning as a child and expanding into oil and acrylic paints, inkboards, clay sculpting, stained glass, found art, mosaics, etching glass, woodworking. I began singing in musical theatre as a child then moved to choirs and private vocal lessons. I play the cello and toured Italy playing with the Sequoia Youth Symphony. I love any medium that is available to me because it causes me to grow as an artist and as a person.
I began working in film in 2002 with acting and upon receiving my Cosmetology license in August 2004 began working as a hair and makeup artist for both film and print as well as working as a full time stylist at a salon. I worked as hairstylist, makeup artist, and wardrobe for DeVore Talent and Casting for all of their photo shoots from 2004-2008 which gave me experience in styling a variety of clients ranging the ages of 1-91 in a vast amount of styles.
After 5 years of working primarily at a salon because it allowed me availability to do film work, I've come to realize my true passion is creating in an ever changing environment. I love the excitement of new people, new locations, new projects. I love the collaboration of a team and the amazing end result of a group's common passions becoming actualized on film. It's the most rewarding sensation I've experienced and I want nothing more than to be able to meet people with the same or different passions and aspirations to see what can be created out of it.

- Sup Nikki,
Just got back from filming a scene for "Strange Fruit"... Your scene was where you were listening in on a couple and drinking coffee... I think it was one of the "Weaver's Rock" episodes.
Speaking of Coffee, last time I saw Martin he was working at Starbucks on Main... I think he was back from college already... I need to go by there and tell him about this site...
Are you going to be working with us on "Survival" or "Drama Queen" this month?
Cheers,
