She spent her childhood and teen years in the waves, on the stage, and late at night after school working on the two things she loved most - dancing and acting. Friendships came and went. Her heart was full and then it broke. But two things were certain - her love for her family and her love for the Arts.

And it sure taught her about herself and what she needs in this life. She followed her dreams, started a jewelry line, and made her biggest dream come true... she moved to San Diego to live happily ever after. Her life is just beginning...
