I grew up in Central Florida during the prime of Nickelodeon and started acting at the age of 9 when I booked a small role in the film, "Ernest Saves Christmas." I worked on several nickelodeon shows and was in various commericals.
After receiving my B.A., I became a high school teacher. I loved it! If I had not had the opportunity to teach, I don't think I would have realize how passionate I am about education and the importance of reaching out to young people.
The Acting opportunity came knocking once again while I was teaching and I decided to take hold with both hands and see where it lead. I left teaching to focus on my acting full-time.
Two years later I received a call about a nation-wide search for a host for PBS Kids. I began the auditioning process and after more than 3,000 people and almost 6 months of auditioning, I was chosen to be Miss Rosa, Host of PBS Kids! It was the perfect merging of my two passions: acting and teaching.
Thanks for reading my 1st blog posting. I hope that you will stayed tuned for more updates. I look forward to sharing my thoughts, experiences, and upcoming Miss Rosa events with you all.
