Hi. I�m Cheryl -

           Welcome to my website.  Here�s some background
info on me.

            I was born in Washington D.C. on October 25, 1972 and lived in Maryland for twenty-five years.   In fact, I represented Maryland in the Cherry Blossom Festival almost 10 years ago.    It was a treat to ride in the old Thunderbirds in the annual parade through Washington D.C. and to have my picture taken with the little kids from Maryland as Miss Maryland Cherry Blossom Princess, 1995.

            I went to the University of Maryland and graduated at age 21 with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism with an emphasis in Broadcasting.  I wrote for the college paper and hosted a tv show.

            My first job out of college was at CNN in Washington D.C. after 8 months of interning both in Atlanta and D.C.  My father had a fit that I worked for free for that long- he was so ready for me to be out of the house.  While at CNN, I especially enjoyed field producing and conducting off-air interviews when given the opportunity.   I also co-hosted a newsmagazine show in Fairfax, VA called New Vision Newsmagazine.   We focused on people doing exciting and positive things in the community. 

            After two years of rigorous routine, I decided to venture to the west coast for new adventures and opportunities.  My friend, Erica, now a lawyer in New York City, had relatives in California- specifically in Malibu where I lived for almost two years.  I stayed with Aunt Lilly at the Paradise Cove and went for long walks along the Malibu Riviera.  My Aunt Barbara and her daughter Toni Lynn and grandson Michael were the only relatives who got to visit me there.  Several friends also from the D.C. area visited me at Paradise Cove including Maureen, Kelly, Katherine, Sharon, and Barbara.  I became quite the tour guide.    

            While in D.C. I had started to work on the movies that came to town.  I worked on Forces of Nature starring Ben Affleck as a traveler in the airport.  It was filmed at Dulles Airport.  It was just the beginning of getting to see the back of my head on film.  It was more popular than the front of me.  I continued to work on TV shows and movies in California, since there was so much more.   I worked on Friends ( Joey�s Porsche episode), Melrose Place, VIP, Pacific Blue, and the West Wing. I also worked on the movie Beautiful with Minnie Driver where I got my SAG card for being a stand-in.  I joined AFTRA to work on Soap Operas since I was told repeatedly that I had a soapy look.  I worked on the wedding and party scene for Port Charles for a few days.  It was kind of funny because I had been watching Port Charles for several months and was very familiar with the characters and story line.  I felt like I was genuinely a guest at the wedding.   

            Erica�s cousin Cricket worked at Fox 11 News in LA and after about eight months I got a job as a production assistant there.

           During my second year at Fox, I took a class through UCLA extension and got a chance to put together an audition reel.  I�ve been shopping it around town and around the country both to land a job as a reporter at a small station in the Palmdale, Lancaster area.  I�ve also worked at  Warner Bros., Castlerock Entertainment, Discovery Channel and Capitol Records as a temporary employee. 

            I�m also a contributing writer for several small publications including the Santa Clarita Sun.  My agent, Leigh Castle of Castle Hill Enterprises continues to send me on auditions for hosting jobs and commercials.  I�m thankful for the opportunities and people I�ve met in Los Angeles. 

            Have a blessed day and enjoy the website.  Please sign the guest book.

Love,  Cheryl
