Spoken Word

I am an actress, voice actor, and public speaker with over 20 years of experience. I’ve appeared in feature and short films, industrial training videos, television commercials, and theatre. I’ve narrated employee training modules and performed in podcasts. I’ve written and delivered entertaining and informative sermons for local churches and emceed various events in the community.

I love performing; it’s my “happy place!” Once, while filming a movie in the winter, I was costumed in a thin pajama top, and I was standing in front of an open door, which faced north. The wind was fierce and blowing in my direction. I was absolutely freezing, but my only thought was, “I’m so happy! More than I would be sitting in a warm office behind a desk!”

Why you should hire me: I’m extremely versatile in range and look; I can be anything you want me to be. I’m professional, prepared, and very fun to work with. I’m looking forward to helping you with your project!

I’m represented by the Peak Agency.

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
