She would have exposure to local shows in Broadway of downtown Lorain and musical performances by her parents and family in it's entirety that sparked this desire. She is married to a handsome Dominican gentleman and they have three lovely children who inspire her to do better. Her children also are heading down the acting road. The acting spark revived on a trip to California where she came to accept that acting was her calling as the Lord led her to many affirmations and validated that this is what he called her to do.
