For more than twenty years, I have brought stories to life through dance, music, and movement. As a celebrated performer with Walt Disney World, I appeared in Festival of the Lion King and Cinderellabration, and was a proud member of the opening cast of Finding Nemo: The Musical. In that production, I performed as a dancer, vocalist, and puppeteer, and also served as a stunt captain, helping ensure each performance reflected the excellence and magic Disney is known for.

In addition to my work on stage, I have shared my talents as a Disney Performing Arts Teaching Artist, guiding student groups from around the world through the unique experience of a Disney-style audition. My creative reach extends beyond Disney as well—my choreography and direction include collaborations with Broadway great Jerry Mitchell on Hairspray and numerous productions such as Shrek Jr., Pippin, and Little Shop of Horrors.

Today, I serve full-time in Children’s Ministry, where I oversee programming, write and perform original Bible story scripts, and bring faith-filled storytelling to life for hundreds of children each week.
My passion for inspiring families is deeply personal. My first daughter, Annabelle Joy, was born with a rare genetic disorder known as SCID (severe combined immune deficiency). Though Annabelle passed away at just five months old, her legacy of love and courage continues to shape my mission to encourage others through creativity and faith.

My husband—who, fittingly, once played Gaston at Disney—and I are now the proud parents of two children: Noah, who was born in a protective bubble, and Victoria, who was joyfully confirmed healthy before birth. Together, our family’s story stands as a testament to faith, perseverance, and joy through adversity.
