I've held many titles over the course of my life. But if I had to choose just one, it would be this: storyteller.

I'm a performing arts professional with a career spanning international stages, classrooms, and boardrooms.

I hold a theatre degree from Oklahoma City University, performed in leading roles at Disney Parks around the world, and wrote, directed, and starred in my own one-woman show in Paris.

I've shared my experience with students who have gone on to perform professionally. My background shaped how I read people, communicate value, and recognize talent the moment it walks in the room — skills I now bring to my work as a recruiter.

I'm the author of Know People Like Show People: Lessons on Building a Life and Career in Show Business; a practical guide for anyone pursuing a career in entertainment, told through the stories of artists who have inspired me, and my own.

I've been in every part of this industry — the classroom, the audition room, the stage, the wings — and I've transferred my skills to the corporate world. My resume is unconventional, but it makes for a great story.
