Background
Born and raised in Northampton Pennsylvania.
Trained professionally as a film actor at New York City 's The Three of Studio's The School for Film and Television and
Los Angeles 's Joanne Baron / DW Brown Studios, I use the knowledge in discerning actor's technique in casting and in
my own craft to carve out a strong performance.
Founded an innovative production company Gotzon Vessel Productions in Virginia Beach , Virginia . Gotzon's Vessel Productions
was developed after I turned 20 and was used as my platform in the Miss America Pageant. Partnering with the Marriott,
I joined directors, writers, actors, singers, dancers, musicians into production venues. These productions were performed
in dinner theater style with restaurants in partnership with Gotzon Vessel Productions . One dinner theater production
created the following results: Profit for the restaurant and talent involved, opportunity for the talent to actively use
and showcase their gifts in partnership with others, inspiration for the talent to continue to grow skills and pursue
their dreams in a safe, encouraging and professional environment.
Performed for Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom's Entertainment Department in Orlando, Florida. I fled south
(from home in Pennsylvania ) with nothing in my pocket except faith and was inspired and mentored by the Imagineering
and synergy of the mouse. Walt Disney was a mastermind at creatively influencing others and has touched the world through
the synergy in his favorite friend, his Mickey Mouse. This experience has forever impacted my outlook and approach to business.
Produced, directed, edited and was the news reporter RCN's Time Out! Lehigh Valley television program. Each segment for
three-minutes and featured innovation in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.

Cast in many independent feature and short films as the leading lady, I found myself naturally offering help in finding
resources, locations, talent and support. Working on all these films, receiving credit as the lead and then offered
associate producer credits for my work, I decided to focus on producing films since it is a compliment to my innate gifting.
