Mandy was born April 10, 1984, in Nashua, New Hampshire. At the age of two months she moved to Orlando, Florida. Mandy presently lives in Orlando with her parents, Don and Stacy, her brothers Scott and Kyle and their three cats, Milo, Zoo, and Chloe.

Mandy found her love of singing when she went to a summer musical camp when she was nine years old. Mandy isn't sure where she got the talent but says, "It may have come from my Grandmother. She was a dancer in the theater district of London, the West End."

Mandy became known as Orlando's National Anthem Girl, performing 'The Star Spangled Banner' at several sports events, including Chris Evert's Pro Celebrity Tennis Tournament. Mandy say's "I don't feel I've missed out on anything about growing up because I feel so fortunate. There are so many kids that would love to be doing what I'm doing!"

Mandy is a national spokeswoman for Neutrogena products, and featured in the company's TV and print advertising campaigns. She's is also partnered with the Wet Seal-Contempo to promote its Blue Asphalt product catalog. Mandy appears on the cover of the publication in over 3 million homes and in the advertising for Blue Asphalt Clothing Line.

Mandy rose to celebrity status after touring with N-Sync and the Backstreet Boys. Her debut single, 'Candy', sold half a million copies, many of the sales attributable to a promotional website that registered over 100,000 'hits' a day at its peak. Sales of 'Candy' were enough to convince 550 Music to rush release of So Real, her debut album, before the end of the millennium. The album, I Wanna Be With You, was repackaged with the addition of five new songs, the following June.

Mandy is a veteran of many national commercials, TV pilots, and voice-overs. She states, "When I first started recording, it was hard, and my friends didn't understand why I couldn't hang out with them. Now they've become really supportive and I feel blessed by that."

Mandy likes all kinds of music, especially the songs of other female singers like Lauryn Hill, Madonna, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Gwyneth Paltrow is her favorite actress and her favorite actor is Ryan Philipe. Mandy's favorite book is A Land Remembered, her favorite movie is "Beaches". Mandy is also learning to play guitar with an eye toward writing her own songs. Recently, Mandy has turned her attention to Hollywood with several new film roles, and it is uncertain if this is her new direction of ambition.
