How I got to San Francisco ~ Plenty of Heart and Plenty of Hope
Filmed with a great crew in one day in March 2021 when wearing masks was the norm, my cabaret act was released several months later on June 11, 2021. This is my story of growing up with dreams of an artistic career in ballet, then opera, living in New York, shifting careers, meeting my fiance and the move west.
