She likes so many feeder makers has always been in tranced by performance and costumes and light. She would tell you that she became a photographer because of her love for good lighting. But, the deeper reason is that her theater department in college complained that no one had good headshots and, being the entrepreneur that she is, saw that need and filled it. From there, she built a photography business and subsequently got distracted by that business. It wasn't until several years later that her husband asked her over dinner one night what it was she was truly passionate about. She remembered the theater. She applied for jobs the next day and has been working with CYT San Diego ever since. It was the students she worked with truly inspired her to pursue academics, where she hopes to become a highschool and middle school theatre teacher.
