Storyteller, narrator, writer, actor, musician. Voice artist.
I grew up in beautiful Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, USA and keep thriving now in Byron Bay, Australia. It’s been a long and adventurous walk through many timelines and iterations. Fresh out of high school I featured in my share of ‘dinner theatre’ productions, then painted and dramatised at the Art Institute of Chicago. Acted in contemporary, classical and musical theatre. Studied hard while raising children and grabbed a University degree from San Francisco State (Drama). Made my mark as a Corporate suit (Bank of America, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Apple Computer Australia). Parent, grandparent. Enthusiastic as a teller of tales, vibrant speaker, dedicated, compassionate listener.
