I have always set out to make something big of whatever I do in life. I wasn't always a Professional Mermaid, but I have always felt as though I was magical at heart. It just took me a little bit to find an outlet for that magic. When I realized that I was able to do something that not only filled a space inside of me that I would never be able to explain, but also to bring such joy, wonder, and sense of enchantment to others, I knew that I had to do it on the biggest scale possible. And that was not just putting on a tail and "cosplaying" as a mermaid. It was more then just being a mermaid in front of an audience. Delivering a performance as a production, and spreading that feeling that will give you chills because of what you're seeing in front of you, you were always told it never existed. And yes, even bring tears of awe to your eyes. Those are the reasons I am a Mermaid Performer. Because in these uncertain times in the world we live in, the little spark of magic that we can get from a performance that wakes up that little piece of childhood within us, or inspires the little 7 year old with a new dream, can mean so much. It's so very easy for me to be the mermaid that I show up to performances at, because of how deeply I've always connected with my "Siren" side throughout life.  Sirens are strong creatures with the depth of the ocean in their hearts. And that's exactly what drives this crazy passion that I have for this Mermaid Entertainment company. I put everything that I have into this venture that I embarked on, and knowing that there's still so much more that I am after within it fuels that flame even more. The fact that I am able to share what I love with so many that love it right along with me means so much. So a big "thank you" to the people and businesses out there that have supported this huge dream and ever-climbing accomplishment of mine. It means the ocean to me
