@jenheartsart: What’s a defining moment in your life? That’s a tricky question for me. My life has been full of defining moments, some tragic and some fortunate. It is this unique combination of factors that has molded me into who I am today, for better or worse. Losing a child in 2008, followed by ending an abusive marriage the next year, is ultimately what forced me to reassess everything and take the leap into a creative career. Another big one was my first film shoot. It was the first time I remember feeling so competent and engaged in a work environment.
