The Short Hook: A 24-year-old flight attendant, cybersecurity student, and former honors nursing student who can handle a 30,000-foot emergency, configure a firewall, and hit a high note—all before lunch. Bio: If you are looking for an actress, model, or voiceover artist who is literally prepared for anything, you found her. As a current flight attendant and former nursing student, I possess top-tier de-escalation skills, a sharp medical vocabulary, and absolute composure under pressure. When I'm not in the sky, I’m completing my degree in cybersecurity, meaning I can just as easily play the tech-savvy hacker as I can the high-flying adventurer or the girl next door. My physical discipline comes from a massive sports background—from competitive cheer and dance to track, lacrosse, swimming, softball, and basketball. I bring that same elite stamina to the runway and the screen. On the creative side, I sing, write, play instruments, and love diving into voice acting with a range of accents. I am exceptionally adaptable, inherently analytical, and my philosophy is to try a direction a dozen different ways before ruling it out. Let’s create something unforgettable!
