1. I grew up in the small town of Pittsburg, KS in the SE corner of Kansas2. I came to Fort Worth to attend TCU and received a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Theatre/Musical Theatre, cum laude3. I was accepted into the Royal Shakespeare Academy but turned it down because of a boy and also I wanted more theatre tech experience4. I am a flight attendant and I love to travel and explore the world and experience different cultures5. I owned and operated the Rose and Thistle Flower Shoppe for 8 years with my husband, Ken6. I was a “Roguette” and danced with the Rogues bagpipe and drum band at both TRF and Scarborough7. I was the personal assistant to, and trained by, Kandis Blakely, MFCC who created New Decision Therapy8. I am an Independent Distributor #159829 for SeneGence, the makers of the famous LipSense long-lasting lip colors9. I was on cast at Scarborough as a country dancer, children’s theatre performer, smut show singer named Isabelle Smeaton, when I was introduced to Isis and belly dancing.10. I was the lead scenic artist for The Littlest Wiseman produced in Fort Worth for 27 years along with working as a scenic artist at various other theatres such as Casa Manana, Stage West, Kids Who Care and Fort Worth Theatre.
