Welcome back to the goings on.
Good stuff to share with you. The website is getting a facelift that would impress Joan Rivers herself. It’s currently being done right now by Isabel Garcia and her company Omnibus Studios in Orlando, FL. My acting reel will be updated as well thanks to the airing of 2 commercials that I filmed this year. They were for the Florida Lottery and Simmons Mattresses.
In February my piece “School Poems” was published in THE ARROW FINDS ITS MARK: A BOOK OF FOUND POEMS edited by Georgia Heard which marked the first time I’ve been published in a book.

I thank Jama Rattigan, Renee LaTulippe, Laura Shovan and Amy Ludwig Vanderwater for the invites. Each of them are strong, talented, successful women who motivate me in continuing to scribble my truths.
I continue to work at the Mouse and Sleuths. I continue auditioning and going to callbacks and I continue to work out at the best gym in America which is Armor Crossfit.

Until next time dear friends I’ll leave you with a children’s poem.
WHO IS SMART
Who is smart, classy, engaging?
It’s easy to see,
Go ahead guess?
(You better say me.)
