After meeting Cherilynn Paris in her first Follies show in 2011, I joined The Paris Dancers and have enjoyed performing at various venues, both locally and in Hilton Head, Tybee Island, Nashville, Mountain City, TN, Helen, GA, Hiawassee, GA and Palm Springs, CA, just to name a few.

I have been married to Mark since 1985 and live in Cumming, GA. I am a grandmother of two, one is a graduate from The University of Vermont and is working in Alaska and the other a freshman at The University of Vermont.

I am a retired Executive Assistant and since retiring have pursued my passion of dance and performing.

I have been in 5 Georgia Senior Follies Shows. The first being “The Birth of Rock & Roll”, then “Country Jubilee”, then “The Golden Age of Television” , “Senior Follies Christmas”.  “Senior Follies Rewind” I am a dancer in the following numbers:  “Calendar Girl, “These Boots are Made for Walking”, “Gimme Dat Ding”, “Beautiful Bride”, “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Winnie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini”, “Talent Roundup”, as well as all of the Ensemble numbers.

Over the past several years, I have enjoyed seeing the process of film and TV making, doing “extra/background” work in both settings and very impressed by the entire filming process and have a greater appreciation when watching a movie or TV show. In 2022 alone, I appeared in 50 different productions (some TV & some Movies). I had a featured role in Tyler Perry’s “A Jazzman’s Blues” (Netfix 2022).
