About me

A Time to Re-invent

After losing a family member at the onset of pandemic, I wrote Frosty and The Coyotes out of a crazy need to do something,  almost anything in response. With three actor friends who felt a similar need, we started rehearsing Frosty and filmed in front of green screens on zoom, adding sets virtually and a whole animation scene. Amazingly, it was accepted in eleven film festivals winning three awards. Frosty has opened a whole new path of video story telling for me and others that is very exciting!

My Story

A long strange journey brought me to acting after a 35-year career as a media an entertainment analyst and banker.  I have loved the theater my whole life.  I have the same passion for it and film and television  as I did when I started--As Alan Alda said, "Actors and acting changes lives--even in little ways,  everyday."
