From soap star to college admissions expert. I’ve been a career educator for over 20 years now, having moved away from acting on TV to pursue academia and helping students. After many years of teaching in the classroom and working as a college admissions counselor, I opened Valley Prep Tutoring in 2012. Taking out an $80,000 business loan was a risk, but it has paid off well. Read more>>

My story begins with a young high school girl who thought she wasn’t really good at anything. Who thought she didn’t have a purpose. While I was in school, my biggest struggle was the thought of college and what I should become when I’m “older”. Unfortunately, after high school ended, that fear continued, and I spent the next few years trying to figure life out.  Read more>>

I was introduced to the wonderful world of Sugar Hair Removal at a skin care show in Long Beach September of 2007. I read a teeny bit about it in our aesthetics book in school but that was all I knew about it. When I had a sugaring demo done on me and saw the result, the first thing I thought of was ‘oh my gosh, how is this not THE leading form of hair removal?’ and ‘I’m going to sugar the world!’ A bit dramatic sounding I know, but I just knew I was onto something.

I have always loved photography, but in high school I never took any classes because the prerequisite art classes intimidated me (something I totally kick myself for now!). So I started out on my own by just experimenting and having fun playing with photography. I started out playing with my mom’s old Canon 35 mm film camera and then eventually bought my own DSLR.

In 1989 at 9 years old, I had a profound realization around the relationship between food and my body’s health. By the age of 14 I was a vegetarian and eating gluten free in a small town on the East Coast, learning everything I could from our local library, I began to self-study nutrition and herbology and used this knowledge to heal myself.

I was a high school English teacher prior to having my three children. I took some time off to raise my 3 little girls (Kaiya 4, Emma 3, and Paisley 3). Living in California on a single-income is hard to do, and not wanting to go back to fulltime work because that would mean fulltime daycare for my kids, I started coming up with ideas how to make an extra income while still being able to be fully responsible for my three girls. Thus, the idea of Saplings was created. Read more>>

I am a nationally published Photographer based in the suburbs of Los Angeles, CA. A Louisiana native, I found my place amongst the stars in 1995 and have been here ever since. Los Angeles was never going to be my final destination – it was initially just a stop along the way … but I met my husband not long after moving here, and since he is an actor, LA eventually did become home!.

I was born in San Francisco, CA and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. A beautiful country back in the day where happiness was all around and highly contagious.

I started my improv life onstage in Chicago at The Second City Theater, many years ago. My improv teaching began while employed at The Second City Theater, running improv workshops around the country. After moving to Los Angeles, (many years ago) someone asked me if I’d run some improv workshops and I said yes, (a basic tenet of improv is to say yes!) and the Actors Improv Studio was started.

I started making jewelry when I was 12 years old (Little did I know that a 5-dollar box of beads would be responsible for the early stages of my creativity and more importantly my future career!) I always knew I was an artist, but I didn’t know what medium I would end up pursuing. I ended up studying film in college and began working in film and television just after graduation. Read more>>

Theatre Unleashed was founded by 9 artists who met at another theatre in Hollywood in 2006. When that company started to go through some changes that made producing difficult the 9 of us set out to continue working together to produce small theatre in L.A. At that time, most L.A. theatre fell into the category of “showcase” and was used as a stepping stone for hopeful actors to break into TV and film. Read more>>
