About me
I come from a small town about an hour north of Pittsburgh, PA (yes, I call them buggies, not grocery carts). I was a professional singer growing up, singing around the country at NBA games and opening large national conventions in Las Vegas, which is where I grew to love Celine Dion! When I wasn't singing, I was working in my parents grocery store. I learned how to cook and prepare food in a healthy and tasty way. I studied Musical Theater and Communications at Elon University in North Carolina and moved to NYC after graduating with high honors. Now, I have found the world of Casting where I am able to incorporate everything I learned growing up into my working lifestyle.
During the time between graduating and casting, I babysat for countless families as well as created my own children's physical fitness class at a boutique gym on the UES. I'm about to start my 3rd year and couldn't be more excited! Every child brings something unique and fun to my class. I learn during my one-on-one time with the children I babysit. I love spending time with them, learning how to make their day a little extra special!
I love physical fitness and being active, but can recognize and understand if a child does not wish to be that way when I am babysitting. Every child is different and I look forward to spending time and learning with yours!

In 5 years, I hope to be...
A Casting Associate at a large network.
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
In my kids fitness class, we work together. It's not about how strong or fast you are, I teach children to work on themselves, to not compare. I find that technique helps them forget their fears and allows them to become a more confident self. I'm also a huge baker and love to color!
