Welcome to my page! I'm a stage manager who loves bringing joy to others through my work on musicals, concerts, and events.

Cancer has always been present in my life, as my grandmother was taken from my family in 1994 after a long fight with breast cancer. A decade later, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She fought bravely, and is still with us today.

I will never forget the generosity of our family and friends during my mom’s surgery and recovery. Our family had 3 children under the age of 12, and my dad had to care for us plus my mom. My mom’s friends surprised us with weekly deliveries of school lunches, 3 dinners a week, and snacks. Close family friends and relatives took turns spending weekends with us, carpooling us to school and activities, and keeping us focused on our lives and not on the “c” word.

It saddens me to see children at the age I was having to face cancer diagnoses of their own. With this fundraiser I can donate to cancer treatment research and helping offset the costs of traveling to/from treatments. In addition to asking friends and family for support, I’d like to have businesses from my neighborhood contribute to this fundraiser. The required goal I have to raise is $1,000. I’d much prefer to raise $2,000, an amount that will fund 1 week of cancer research.
