Tarah Valdez as Brittney Jean

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, Tarah began her journey down the performing path at a young age. At age 3, she attended ballet, tap and modern jazz classes for a year or two.

Aside of school plays, such as Nursery Rhymes, Tarah later went on to find that her main love was in music.

She became a regular in her Shaw Elementary school chorus from third to fifth grade before carrying on her soprano voice from junior high to high school.

After taking a few acting classes in high school, she decided to give acting a shot and auditioned for the school plays, including Grease.

Though she spends a lot of her time attending college courses working, she has been a regular of the Creature Crew for Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream for the past few years and will be returning for her fourth consecutive year, where she also met her boyfriend of two years, Frankie.

She is currently working towards a Bachelor’s degree at USF for Anthropology in hopes to someday work as a Forensic Anthropologist.

She credits and thanks her loving, supportive family and boyfriend, mom Teresa, dad Dennis, sister Tiffany and friends for their everlasting love and support in whatever she’s done.
