Independent Arts & Entertainment Professional
Greater Los Angeles Area
I have worked as a freelance artist for major clients, especially in the promotional ring; featured as actress and model in various circuits of advertising (posters, internet, magazines, newspapers, and television); The History Channel, NBC, ABC, CBS, WB 11, USA Networks, Comedy Central, HBO, MTV, and NY1 ... in the comedy circuit of independent films/short films.
I find out more about myself as I go on, how I have become the emotional athlete: I have stayed in the center as best I could and it continues to be my goal.
Experienced in commercial, fashion, illustration modeling, product promotion, spokesmodeling, fine art, poetry, photography, graphic/product design, etc. I have traveled extensively in the past; it has enhanced my creativity and expanded my knowledge of people's cultures, religions, and ways of living. I am grateful because there are some things that you just can't learn from the internet.
