ABOUT ME
Born and raised in New York. Graduated from John Bowne High School. My passion growing up was to be in the entertainment field. Well, I guess I am lucky enough to say that I am doing just that. I sing and act and have done several musicals and plays (including classical) as well as cabaret shows. I have appeared in commercials, television, films, soaps, industrials, print and voiceovers.
