Allen movie, Joe Somebody.
Besides being an extra, I have had numerous television appearances
locally, most recently co-hosting the Young Quest Fitness Show.
My
education and training include martial arts. I am currently working
towards my black belt in karate. I am a certified fitness instructor,
experienced in teaching Spinning (cardio-vascular exercise on
a stationary bike), Kwando (a martial arts based cardio-vascular
class), and Quick Abs (toning class with just abdominal work.)
Since earning my Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Information
Systems, I have worked in my field of study, currently as a Systems/
Business Analyst to help balance my fitness lifestyle.

Additional Notes
I enjoy performing as a release. Since I am from a family of performers,
I have been involved with the arts all my life. I would love to
get more involved with television and screen work and hopefully
become a female action star. I love Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Arnold
Swartznegger to name a few.
