I have worked in theater, dance and music all my life, and I love teaching as well as performing.

My recent work includes acting and/or directing with Actors Ensemble of Berkeley, Piedmont Oakland Repertory Company, Do It Live Productions (SF), UCSF Medical School Standardized Patient Program and Poor Players.

As former founding Artistic Director of Opera Piccola ("Small Works") , I served as a teaching resident artist in over 50 East Bay public schools, teaching drama, poetry writing and choir for many years. I am also a certified substitute teacher with the Oakland Unified School District.

Other former work includes news reporting and editing with Chicago City News Bureau, professional singing with the Chicago and SF Symphony Choruses, and grant writing for non profits.

My husband and I have two sons.
