As an actor I have worked with some incredible talent in Film, TV and theater. I studied with Lee Strasberg for acting and Stella Adler for script analysis. I am a lifetime member and audition judge for the Actor’s Studio and the the recipient of the prestigious Robert Proski Character Actor Award.
I write film, television, theater, shows, poems, I even wrote a song for one of my films. I can’t stop writing! It can take me away.
I’m engulfed in the story and characters that tell it. Love of life inspires me to write comedy about real life that makes you laugh and cry.
I am proud to be the director of two international award-winning short films, Waiting For Ronald and Come Away With Me, as well as, my award-winning one-woman show, My Psychotherapy Comeback Tour. Read more.
