ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Arcadia, CA to Ken and Suzie Mosier, the best parents a girl could ever ask for. My performing career started by singing on the monkey bars in my backyard when I was 5, where I would perch every summer morning and sing Beach Boys tunes at the top of my lungs, serving as an alarm clock for the neighbors. I grew up performing in whatever I could get my hands on, mostly in church and school plays, where I got to exercise my talents playing various barn-yard animals and Apostles. When I was eight, I suffered from a bone growth disorder and spent three years of my life unable to walk. Since I was unable to participate in things most kids at that age do, it was then that I became very involved in singing and acting. I graduated High School at the age of 16, not so much because I was smart, but because I was bored. I started attending Pasadena City College, where I studied Classical Voice. I was placed in an Opera/Musical Theater workshop, where the emphasis was on Opera, and I spent most of the time arguing with the teacher over assigned material.

I moved to New York the week after I turned 18 to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. I lived on Ben and Jerry’s and Ramen noodles for eight months, while doing repetitive verb exercises, and learning the importance of acting a song. I took a semester off from school, got a job and never went back. I lived in 9 different places in my first two years in New York, including Spanish Harlem and Staten Island, and had seven different jobs. My first job was Assistant Director turned Swing in the national tour of Tommy which made one stop by the time I joined it. After that ended, I needed money, so I started working as a Child Wrangler for Broadway shows. It was the best training and education I could have ever asked for, I met some great people, AND I got paid! I continued to work as an actor in regional theater, and then one windy April day I auditioned for a production of Jekyll and Hyde in Massachusetts. Jekyll and Hyde changed my life. Through that show I met my husband, David, my agent, the director of The Company (a NY based theater company which I am currently involved in), and some very dear friends. As thankful as I was for my Regional Theater experiences, I was tired of working in the middle of nowhere for no money, so I began to pursue Modeling, Film and TV. I was fortunate enough to book recurring roles on One Life to Live and As the World Turns, several showroom and print jobs, as well as a mirage of “unique” commercials.

I am grateful I get paid to do the work I love and blessed for all the experiences and people life has offered me. I’m living in one of the best times of my life and I am excited to see what’s next!  Thanks for visiting my site.
