My father's work brought us to Washington, DC when she was three.

My mother told me that I was always saying, "I live in Washington ABC!" Later on, I certainly learned the ABCs of living in Washington!

Anyway, I loved being in front of the camera and on stage from a very early age!

My mother always saw my desire to perform and helped to nurture and encourage me by enrolling me in ballet, tab, jazz, & gymnastics lessons as a child.

While in grade and high school I think I participated in every school talent show, plays, cheer leading, etc. ^[1]
