Versatile multi-media artist born in Akron, OH, raised in Riviera Beach & West Palm Beach, FL. Drawing since I was a toddler - the story - Mom watched me write my name on a piece of paper copying from the refrigerator, assuming in an artistic manner, started reading & writing at three; from then she noticed I was different from other kids my age - unique.

I was always told when a child starts any form of art that young, they were destined to do it! Blessed to be one of the select few!

I attended a performing arts school (Miller South, Akron, OH), audition admission only, 6th through 8th grade - absolutely loved it! I think I have five tiles on the main floor wall, circa 1999. Used to play steel drums and piano. Was also in a singing group with my brothers and cousin in middle school, first single was called "That Girl Is Mine", the lyrics have slipped my memory. I used to sing in church choirs as a child through my teenage years, as a soprano, tried alto one year, didn't care for it - still sing - at home & while I cruise, no more shows though.

Summer of 2004 I attended the NAACP convention in Philly, PA where I competed nationally, I won the local competition in Akron, OH. I've sold a few dozen pieces, my first was in 6th grade - to a local business in Akron, sold a piece to Akron Children's Hospital as well.

I'm into television and radio production/broadcast journalism, professionally, heavily influenced by my Dad's career as a journalist/sports writer & editor for most of my life, 25 years (The Palm Beach Post & The Plain Dealer). I remember always watching the news and/or reading the paper as a child.

Anything that can be created, in the arts is pretty much my thing. Worked for The University of Akron's ZipsVision production staff and while working there I gained experience from FOX TV and ESPN, Interned at NewsChannel 13, KKTV 11 News, & Sky Sox Baseball (minor league team) in Colorado Springs, CO. There I was writing & producing news, creating & editing video using AVID, recording & editing plays in sports, writing & producing radio commercials, arranging music, and going into the field as a reporter; all while attending college and working a part-time job. Graduated Phi Theta Kappa with a degree in Applied Science.

I am currently earning my second degree in Media & Marketing, at none other than the sought-after, Full Sail University. I aspire to write a book, one of these days when I find time.
