The love of performing began for me at a very young age. I always wanted to be an actress or a big Broadway star. However, when I got to NYC, I took a left at Broadway and found myself in children’s theatre. My next audition had me teaching young children and inspried me to go back to school for a Masters in Early Childhood Education. Putting all my skills together, I formed a company doing musical parties for very young children. My company is now a growing team of entertainers that I am training and booking so that I can provide families with fun entertainment that doesn't "talk down" to children or bore the adults! Music connects us all and creates memories that last a lifetime! I am so grateful for this gift!
