I've been telling stories ever since I could talk. And I've been writing them down ever since I could fold a piece of paper in half and call it a "book." There's a story in every corner of every room - and there's a great storyteller waiting to share something with you if you just take a moment to listen. I enjoy both: telling stories and listening to others... to experience a moment in someone else's journey is a very special treat. 

My journey began in New York, where I grew up in the verdant, sea-sprayed suburb of Merrick, New York, where we rode our bikes all summer long, mounted carnivals in eachother's backyards, and played up and down the block until the street lamps came on. My friends and I were always putting on shows: magic shows, puppet shows, gynmastic shows... we even restaged our own versions of many Broadway productions (our all-white version of The Wiz was an instant classic), and many voices were lost trying to belt out songs from Annie over and over and over... Then I got even nerdier in high school and became president of the drama club and vice-prez of choir (or vice-versa, it didn't really matter back then, either), and went to college, and fell in love with a lot of boys. I followed one of those boys out to Los Angeles, which is where I met my husband (a different boy) and stayed. We have two boys we are very proud of (and not humble-proud. Like, shout from the roof, these are some great, friggin' people we got here.) I act and write and keep my day jobs until those first two things can financially support us. Fortunately, I enjoy my day jobs (as a personal assistant and a private tour guide). 

I love stories that lift people up. Literally. Throw a kid on a bike and have him sail across the moon and I'm in a puddle on the floor. That's movie magic - and that's one of the reasons I love the movies... to be lifted up all the way to the moon.

As a woman in this crazy business, we're often left sitting in chairs, waiting in the wings. I love telling stories for women, about women, and with other women. I want to give women and girls a chance to sail across the moon. Maybe even on a bike.
