I was born in Los Angeles but I was lucky enough to have been raised in San Antonio since I was about 5. Though I was a troubled youth with a problematic home life, I found cathartic comfort in my stereo and TV. Since I was 10 I knew I wanted to sing and write to let out all my very big feelings. And by 14 I KNEW I just HAD to be a filmmaker so I could convey my love to movie, big feelings and creative mind. Beautiful life happened and I became a single mother of 4. I put them first, but I can’t pour from an empty cup, so I decided I would start going after my dreams a little at a time. I sing now when there’s a stage to ham up but I got the chance to be on a film set recently and realized again this is what I need to be doing.

The first film I'd like to make is from a screenplay I wrote. Here's the summary: "It's 1998, a couple of military brat sisters are moved to San Antonio with their family and are determined to make friends. They visit the San Antonio library to find a scary book for a sleepover they've planned. They soon find themselves thrusted into San Antonio's favorite ghost stories IRL and have to pull together to find a way out." The feel of the movie is intended to be Hocus Pocus meets San Antonio folklore.
