"I fell in love with acting as a child, and pursued the dream of becoming a professional with a vengeance.  After college, where I studied Theatre Arts and Speech, I went on to complete a two year program in New York at the prestigious Playwrights Horizons Professional School, studying playwriting and directing, in addition to acting. After that I worked extensively in theater as an actor, then transitioned into directing and writing, all the while still working as an actor.  I went on to work in TV (both series work and commercials), as well as voice-overs, print work, and industrial training videos.  But one huge claim to fame is four years as a guest host on QVC, where I learned the most about marketing myself.

I have had so many wonderful acting opportunities, but there have also been challenges. Often these challenges came from a lack of experience.  There is so much about the business of this business that no one tells you, so years ago, I began to teach - not only the craft of acting, but the business as well.  Now I have 15 years experience as an artist-in-residence at in the public schools, in addition to working as an adjunct professor at three universities.  These days, an artist needs to know their craft, and know the business as well, and I want to help with both.  It makes me very happy to do what I love, but it also makes me happy to share what I know - which I do willingly."
