To give you a little background info about me, I grew up in Plant City & was in the Strawberry Festival Queen’s Court. I was a former Miss Plant City, Miss Largo, Miss University of South Florida, USF Homecoming Queen, Miss Tampa, Miss Tampa USA, and most recent as last year’s Ms. Gasparilla 2008. The various titles have allowed me to make appearances throughout the community & to volunteer my time & talents.
I graduated from USF with three degrees: B.M. in Music – Vocal Performance with a Communication minor, B.A. in Mass Communications (TV News), and M.A. in Communication (emphasis in performance).
I sing The National Anthem for the Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey team & sometimes for the Storm Arena Football. I have also been singing The National Anthem for at least the past 6 years for AsiaFest & doing some TV hosting for that event for Hillsborough County’s television station.
I’ve hosted a national show on Speed Channel’s “Hi-Rev Tuners” where I traveled the country to interview car enthusiasts on their suped up rides & had the opportunity to sing The National Anthem at an NHRA drag race. Currently, I am the TV Host for TBPAC TV, a show for the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, that airs on Bright House on Demand Ch. 340 and have been their tv host for about 7 years.
You may have also seen me on NBC’s summer reality TV show, “I Want to be a Hilton” a few years ago, hosted by Paris Hilton’s mom (Kathy). What a sweet lady she was!!
In the movie “2 Fast 2 Furious”, about an hour into the movie, you will see me sitting in a clear-like bubble swing… dancing in the background. I was also in a “Bollywood” type movie called Dasavathaaram that was released in theaters last June.
