Location: I am based in the city that never sleeps, Las Vegas NV. (perfect for a vampire) I do love living here even when its 122 degrees!!

1. How did you get into the industry?

I actually came upon the horror industry pretty much through my best friend, Actor Luc Bernier. He is the guilty one whom involved AND evolved me into this industry. Until then, I had a local agent auditioning for movies in Los Angeles , local commercials and doing local theatre. I was ignorant to the Horror Industry and had no idea what it involved. It boils down to auditioning or working… Being a Scream Queen lets me work.. I am so happy to be involved in the Horror industry, I LOVE it! Its so much fun, so rewarding, and I get to be in some kick ass movies, among working with, being directed and produced by some of the most amazing, down to earth, professional people in life itself. I am very grateful and humbled to wake up every day and know I have developed fans and friends from all over the world thanks to all the involvement by doing this genre of movies.

2. What Scream Queen inspired you most?

I think the first experience I had with anyone that resembled a Scream Queen was watching Karen Black in Burnt Offerings and Jamie Lee Curtis in The Halloween series, and have been a huge fan of watching these women since. I do have to say that every Scream Queen AND (king) I have worked with since, has truly been a honor and inspiration to me. The hard work, honesty and loyalty to work with these women (and men) have, amazes me to this day.

3. What are the next couple projects you are working on?

I just wrapped up “Blood Mercury” with Len Kabasinski in PA and NY. Awesome producer, and I have been wanting to work with him for a while after seeing his work, so glad I had the opportunity to do so with all his wonderful cast and crew… HE ROCKS!!! Now I am back home and getting ready to film with the none other than Ted Mikels on his new film, “Paranormal Activity.” Working with Ted is always a great experience. Next I will be shooting the lead in a movie produced and directed by Guy and Pascal Bodart “All Hallows Eve” This movie I am really excited about, It’s a period piece that has a wonderful script. The costuming and characters are going to be so flipping awesome and exciting to do. Both these movies start filming in Sept. Busy, busy, I cant wait.!!!!
