She performed professionally through her entire childhood and teenage years as a singer and actress
in over 100 films, television shows and commercials, seven Disney Albums, and a solo album. Seven
years of Ballet, including performing with the New York Ballet as a child led her into competitive

Member of V10 Women Stunt Professionals and a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences
and the Taurus World Stunt Awards.
