I am a girl that loves Jesus ✝️, flamingos 🦩, & popcorn🍿.

I am a self-proclaimed film 🎬 nut from the Appalachian foothills of East Tennessee. I actually live very near “Deliverance” country, although I am completely normal, I promise! Growing up in a 1980's Christian household, my childhood cinema consisted of Jim Henson classics, friendly extra terrestrials, friends that journey down a yellow brick road, and pets that multiply if you feed them after midnight. I'm working hard to catch up on cinema and theatre history in my grown up years. I'm a graduate of the theatre & speech department of University of Tennessee – Chattanooga, where I started the expansion of my cultural palate 😃

My favorite movies these days are just like my music tastes . . . Schizophrenic. I love a good scary 👻 movie some days; other days I just want a nice fluffy romantic 💞 comedy. Some of my favorites films are Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, Sliding Doors, The Wizard of Oz, Attack the Block, and The Quiet Place. I'm an expert in The Chosen, FRIENDS, Gilmore Girls, Little House on the Prairie, the Scream and Paranormal Activity franchises.

Today I'm passing my kooky brand of humor onto my daughter Bonnie, volunteering in my community, and working as much as I can in the local film & theatre community. My speciality is in costumes and stage & production management. If you have a production in need of costumes, stage manager, or producer, just send me a message on your favorite social platform below.

I am a disciple of Jesus & love everyone I meet. I am an active member of the local Emmaus community, the United Women of Faith, and the fight for social justice and equality for all. Y'all means all. Love your faces!
