Quotes
Well, while working in the Dallas, TX world of advertising, overseeing commercial and photo shoots for a range of clients’ campaigns, I was introduced to life on set and on several occasions, and finally was asked to step in front of the camera. My initial resistance didn’t last long and after being approached by a local talent agent, I found myself in front of the lens for a variety of print and commercial campaigns.

My newest addiction is savory sweet potatoes. My PawPaw (what we Louisiana folks often call our grand fathers) had folks coming from miles around, because he was known for growing the best sweet potatoes in the South. I’m not sure if it was because I’d help with the planting/harvest, but at the time I couldn’t stand them! Now, thanks to my cousin Chan’s savory spin, I’m In love.
A very coordinated, carefully prioritized juggling act of family and career. No different than most.
