Hi There!
Just moved to beautiful Arizona! Prescott Valley, actually.Seeking shoots in Northern AZ, including Phoenix. I do travel to the greater Palm Springs area, so I can work gigs there as well. You will find me working with model, Mel Shaker (Model Mayhem #: 1512708) frequently.
I've been in the 'biz' all my life. Theater, Music(Singer/Songwriter/Composer), Modeling (print/runway). I love to work with professionals who love what they do.
I can always be counted on to bring my A-Game to the set, as well as a bit of levity and silliness when appropriate.
I am in this business for the love of the craft- paychecks are important too!

Thanks for considering me for your project.
