My young African-American & British accent was developed at Colonial Williamsburg & Busch Gardens, along with my eastern european and African accents. I teach theater at a middle school that includes students from 30+ countries, which enables me to reference. In college, I studied many African American orators:Preachers like MLK, Blues/Jazz Singers and Comedians. I am able to impersonate a few late greats like Richard Pryor and Bernie Mac.

After a collegiate career of Division 1 athletics, I returned to design sets in the theater. Learning to sing under a mother who earns a living as a singer. She started me at age five- I was a child-actor and musician at Colonial Williamsburg, in school and church choir until age sixteen.
