the perfection of her craft, this led to a brief stint on the popular daytime
soap "As The World Turns."

the world. She graced the modeling scene and worked for designers such as Sonia
Rykiel while living and studying in France. In 1999, Cassandra also spent some
time at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) taking courses in
Classical and Shakespearean acting.
She

Presents: Hellride directed by Larry Bishop (Kill Bill) which was the most
anticipated film at Sundance in 2008. She worked alongside Matthew McConaughey
in Surfer Dude playing Woody Harrelson's wife, Luanne. Cassandra has also worked
with such stars as Danny DeVito, Kim Basinger and Ray Liota in Even Money

Guilty, starring Vin Diesel.

"Cassandra is what most should aspire to be, someone
that not only wanted to be a dreamer but wanted to live her dreams while doing
good in the world, her off screen efforts is what makes her an amazing person, I
am honored to know her and look forward to seeing this shinning start illuminate
brighter than ever before." stated UCW Radio Show Host Louis
