Thoughts From A Butterfly

Rebecca was born the eldest of two daughters in San Jose, California. With her mother being an elementary school teacher who specialized in Children’s Musical Theater and a father who was a Preacher’s Kid raised with singing in the boy’s choir, it was natural that Rebecca’s interest in the Arts flourished. She started performing at the tender age of 5 and soon found herself falling in love with all forms of performing including choir, musical theater and performance groups. Her mother and father started songwriting during the 80’s and Rebecca followed suite with writing poetry, songs and instrumentals as a teenager in High School.

After becoming a wife and mother at age 22, she decided to put her interests in the Performing Arts aside in order to focus on being a mother and wife. All the while still using her passion as a form of expression, reflection and self-therapy during the tough times in her life. In November of 2008, as a result of keeping up with her writing, she self-published her first book of poetry “The Genesis Journey - A Creative Collection” (available at Amazon.com)

In the 2006, Rebecca started “video blogging” on YouTube to capture yet another journey of her life through the Gastric Bypass surgery. She also started her very first musical podcast called “Sunday Morning Meditations” in order to express her love for beautiful music, positive thoughts, poetry and scripture. 

In 2010, Rebecca helped produced two short films, “Are You My Girlfriend” and “Thugs Need Hugs”, with E+ Productions while working as a Job Coach for adults with Developmental Disabilities. She was also Creative Director and Audio Production Teacher for their very first podcast. 

Rebecca now works at Live Media Entertainment, a film production company in Placer County, California. She was the Casting Director and Production Coordinator for “Dark Truths” which is currently in post production and will be released late 2011. She is also assisting with the pre-production of an upcoming film as well as the Social Media promotions of the film “No Parking”. With her recent connection to her passion for the arts, she enjoys seeing personal growth, creativity and excitement for life in her community on a daily basis.
