Personal videographer for 2 US Presidents. Travelled domestically and globally (aboard Air Force One). US Navy retired (Lieutenant Commander). I am an actor who served. My wheelhouse of roles include mom, grandma and professional (lawyer/doctor) and from caretakers to judges. Roles have layers of warmth, sweetness and compassion with a twist of forthrightness. Word(s) for 2025 is SHOW UP! Current passport (exp. 2032). Available to work domestically and internationally. Fully Vaccinated.
