Originally from Nevada, I spent my early adult life moving around and discovering who I am and learning about the world. I started in Macau, China, as a 19-year-old, singing Italian songs while rowing a gondola at the Venetian Hotel & Casino. I had never been out of the country, and suddenly I was able to travel all over Asia and see entirely different cultures. It fueled my passion for learning, for travel, and for people.From there, I moved to Los Angeles to continue acting and singing but shortly after made a detour to get my Bachelor's Degree at Brigham Young University-Idaho, where I received a full academic scholarship after my first semester throughout my time, obtaining a cumulative 3.94 GPA and graduating Magna Cum Laude. Even though I studied business and American government, I could never shake my ambitions for entertainment and went back to LA for acting. I joined a country cover band and played all over Southern California and quickly learned that was my new path.I moved to Nashville in 2016 to pursue a career in music, releasing my first single and later an EP "Grace" in 2018. Since then, I have released two singles, toured Southwest America as the opening act for Cirque Musica in multiple arenas and large theaters, and played some of the best bars and clubs Nashville has to offer.But 2020 kind of shook things up in my world and changed my focus, as it did for many people. I still host a weekly writers' round and have plans to release more music, but in February 2022, I opened Party Up Balloon Co, which has been my main focus and has really blown up (pun intended). It may seem random, but not when you learn a little more history. For over 35 years, my grandparents owned a prominent party store in my hometown of Reno, Nevada, and every family member worked there at some point. It was actually my first job as a child! For years, I have watched the women in my family excel at creating unique events and silk floral designs, and I have struggled to find my place in the party world. When I started seeing this incredible balloon art, I felt pulled to do the same. Now I get to bring the fun wherever I go!
