Talia has dreamed of being a performer since she was a child. She produced and choreographed all her talent showcase performances from scratch, starting in elementary school until graduating from Five Towns College in New York, where she earned her associate’s degree. After graduating, her passion for music and performance was unwavering, however, her search for stability and opportunity led her to the Army. Her love for performing is satisfied there through singing karaoke at both military and non-military functions. Today, she is a recruiter, giving her the chance to relate to like-minded civilians seeking stability through the military. Talia met her husband in 2017 and he urged her to continue pursuing her dream of performing. She’s grateful that with his support and her passion, she can focus her energy on making her musical dreams come true.
