It was clear that I loved performing and taking on roles ever since I walked into my first preschool class at 2 years old and when asked what my name was, loudly proclaimed "Novi Twinkle Toes!" No one had called me that before, I made it up myself, and it made my flair for the dramatic hugely apparent!
My first love is being on the stage, but when I am not rehearsing or performing, I love to travel, I adore all things Disney, I cherish my time with my friends, and I just melt around dogs - especially my whoodle (poodle/wheaten terrrier), Minnie...see, I really WAS telling the truth about LOVING Disney! I have recently become obsessed with Kermit the Frog and other instrument-playing Muppets since I’ve picked up playing the banjo ( cue the music for ‘Rainbow Connection’), as well as the electric bass, piano, guitar, and hammer dulcimer… but Kermit and the banjo have my heart and has led to my newest nickname, "BanJovi"!
