Back in 2002, America’s Most Wanted came to Universal Orlando to shoot an upcoming episode for season 16. I was very lucky that my acting studio was asked to come in for some extra work. Through some luck, I was asked to be a featured actor in the episode. The episode was to air around Halloween and they wanted to prepare kids in the event they were ever kidnapped. My scenes featured different ways to try to get out of dire situations. The episode premiered on September 28, 2002. I’m sorry the audio isn’t the best. The only copy I have is on VHS and I haven’t quite figured out audio programs enough to fix the fuzziness. This experience is something I will never forget and I hope to have a chance to do many more shoots like this soon! Check back for part two. #Americasmostwanted #universalorlando #actor #actress #acting #fox #pastroles #acting #screen #film #television

Took another trip to EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts yesterday! I finally got to live out my dream of holding Simba on Pride Rock in the Disney on Broadway exhibit! Not pictured is the amazing @ashleybrownyall and @alton2459 who put on such an amazing show, I forgot to take pictures because I was so entranced. #epcot #festivalofthearts #festivalofthearts2025 #broadway #disneyonbroadway #concert #lionking #thelionking #marypoppins #beautyandthebeast

I am so excited to announce that I’ve been selected to perform at this years Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL! I will be performing Tuesday, March 4th at 3pm at the Stingray Entertainment Pavilion. The show is free with tickets to the festival itself. I will be performing some of my favorite Broadway hits, a little bit of country, and a few Disney gems too! #strawberryfestival #strawberryfestival2025 #florida #soloshow

Today is Harley Quinn Day. While I admit I wasn’t always a huge DC Comics fan, I’ve definitely grown to the love Harley. My favorite version of the character has to be the animated series on Max. It really allows Harley to explore who she is when she’s not under Joker’s shadow. Not to mention Kaley Cuoco, Lake Bell, and Alan Tudyk are fabulous in their (many) roles! I’m excited for the current season and can’t wait for more Harley! #harleyquinn #harleyquinnday #kaleycuoco #lakebell #alantudyk #voiceacting #animation #max #poisonivy #joker #clayface

This past Wednesday, I got the opportunity to see @cirquedusoleil Drawn to Life @disneysprings . I have wanted to see this show since it was announced a few years ago! It was very beautiful and I feel they did a good job merging the Cirque style with Disney flair. ✨ #disney #disneysprings #disneyanimation #cirquedusoleil #disneyanimation #drawntolife

For my birthday this year, I am treating @ickyvicki0615 and myself to a wonderful trip to London. I am very excited! This will be the first time I’ve been outside the “America” continents. What is your favorite thing to do in London? #london #unitedkingdom #countdown #travel #brithday #birthdaytrip

This past Monday, @ickyvicki0615 and I headed over to EPCOT for the first of many trips to the International Festival of the Arts!! We met Figment, saw the new Disney on Broadway exhibit, I got to meet @sthompsonart , and we saw the amazing show with @pattimurin and @thejohnriddle . I have been a huge fan of Steve Thompson art for many years and finally got the chance to meet him this year! Seeing all the exhibits at the Once Upon a Stage exhibit almost brought tears to my eyes. I want that to be a part of my story one day too. Patti and John were amazing and absolutely adorable! Our next FOTA trip is in February to see the amazing @ashleybrownyall and @alton2459 !!! #epcot #epcotfestivalofthearts #festivalofthearts #disneyonbroadway #disney #wdw #broadway #figment #arts

In 2014, I went to my first Supernatural convention in New Jersey. I had previously met Gil at EnchantaCon in November 2013. ✨ When we saw each other again, we knew we wanted to sing a song together at the Friday night party. “I’ve Had the Time of My Life” was our chosen song and I think it fits the moment to a tee. 🎤🎶 I think about this moment a lot and I hope I get to see Gil sometime in the future again. #supernatural #spnnj2014 #spn #gilmckinney #winchester #henrywinchester #karaoke #fridaynightkaraoke #dirtydancing #ivehadthetimeofmylife

Throwing it back to 2003 when little 3rd-grade me had the honor of playing Little Cosette in @dphstheatre ’s production of Les Misérables! 🎭✨ Being part of such a powerful show at such a young age was truly life-changing. The high school cast embraced me like one of their own, making me feel part of something bigger—and it’s one of the reasons I fell head over heels for theater. ❤️ Those memories of community and connection still inspire me today, and I can’t wait to experience that magic again!
