She spent her childhood as a professional singer and actress in films and television while also excelling academically in special programs for advanced education. With an artistic background, inhereted from both families of professional musicians and a mother who taught music, she was classically trained in four instruments and can sight read music vocally as well. By the age of 15 she had, performed with the New York City Ballet, competed seriously as a gymnast, sung regularly on blockbuster movies with the best film composers, including Leonard Bernstein and Henry Mancini, and performed in over 150 movies, television shows and commercials. As an adult, her fierce love of sports, combined with her life as a performer led her to the perfect crossover career as a Hollywood stuntwoman. Starting as an acrobatic fighter, she is now an all around stuntwoman including specialties in Motorcycles, Cars, SCUBA Divemaster and Rescue, Fire, and of course, her originals Gymnastics and Martial Arts. Having been a performer all her life, her acting credits intermingle with her stunt credits as she is able to handle the drama, violence the acting and the stunt all in one. Having had several record deals along the way, she never lost her love for music and in the last few years found her way home to that passion again, writing and producing her own music on her own terms. She also performs live regularly for Live Nation, singing Anthems for their biggest sporting events such as Monsterjams and Supercross. She recently sang the opening "High School Musical" number for the Teen Choice awards and is back in the studio again both for herself and on other albums and projects. A dedicated motorcycle enthusiast and supporter of women's motorcycling, she has been an instructor at Femmoto (www.femmoto.com) for two years, has raced "A Day in the Dirt" since her first year on a motorcycle. She regularly rides sportbike track days and is involved with women's motorsports companies. Having worked with women and motorsports companies both as a stuntwoman in commercials and promos, and as a personal liaisen to the marketplace, she is dedicated to helping support new riders just learning and the women's racing community. As she continues steadfast in her motorsports activities, expect an extremely exciting announcement on her future activities this year within the month!!
