I was born in Louisville, Ky. attended Manual High School where I first started drama education. Then went on to EKU started drama then life got in the way, having to return home and financial difficulties I had to go to work. Upon return to higher education with the support of family I got my bachelor in nursing from University of Louisville. I'm married to a disabled Veteran, we have 1 grown daughter who is also married. Working full time, to support a family while in college left very little time to do any other things for myself. During college, I did a few safety demonstration videos for the job that I was working at the time, some nursing school modeling ads. After graduating nursing school, and starting working full time as a nurse I did instructional videos for my employers. I moved from Louisville, KY to Phoenix, AZ where I did some modeling for old time photos and some extras but once aging life started to get in the way so I had to focus more on nursing. While providing bedside care I got a bad eye bacterial infection and after months medical procedures I eventually lost my left eye. I now have a prosthetic left eye since 1998. I've continued providing patient care in private hospitals . In 2000 to moved back to Kentucky and took a position at a Veterans Medical Center and retired from it in 2019 after an accident leaving me with chronic migraines. I've dedicated over 30 years taking as a caregiver and now I like to return to what I start in High school, drama.

In 2010 my husband Curt Lewis and I both became Certified Paranormal Investigators and we started our our investigations team titled Researchers of Paranormal Mysteries. This is how I got involved with ScareFest from 2010 to 2016 as a volunteer and board as a board member. I was their Talent Scout from 2014 to 2016 signing on the acts of Studio G and S.C.A. P. A. School for the Arts. in Lexington KY. at that time Patti Starr was the owner of ScareFest.

I also created the Harrodsburg Ghost Tour and Murder Mystery Tour. from 2011 to 2014. This was a mile long walk tour where I wore 1960 period clothing told the history of Harrodsburg, KY along with my paranormal investigations findings of certain spots on the tour mixed with ghost stories. I still enjoy doing this tour when people makes reservations only.

During the 2014 convention I took a chance and did an auditioned for a part in a web series titled Sussex County, I got the part of Serena. It was a fan based Jason spin off. So the acting got back into my life once again. So with the support of my family now I started a TV series in 2015 Fifth Hollar. Season 1 aired in eastern Kentucky in 2018. I'm also in the process a background book for the show which answers questions that the series did not reveal.
