I was a performer and a reluctant writer myself. And, after decades of waiting to be discovered or offered the perfect role to show off my abilities, I finally decided to get out of my own way. I decided to create roles for me that catered to my skillset. All it took was an inkling of belief in myself and a plan to just simply start creating.

 

After years of improv training at the prestigious Groundling’s School, I finally got invited to join their Sunday Company. At that point, writing was thrust upon me as a means to an end. We were each responsible for a minimum of 5 new sketches to pitch every week. It was pressure filled. But, I came out the other end with a belief in my writing abilities and a deeper understanding of developing my ideas.

 

When my time in the Sunday Company ended, I was terrified that I would lose my momentum. So, I eventually decided to try my luck with stand up comedy. That locked me into a daily writing practice and a constant “work in progress” mentality. That led to co-founding a writing group for stand up comedians to develop new material.

 

Becoming a creative life coach was, for me, an obvious way to share everything I’ve learned. I’ve always been alive to the needs of others and genuinely inspired by the success of others. Everyone’s journey is unique. And, it energizes me to help others to alchemize their fears into their greatest strengths. I believe that everyone has a light to shine, a story to tell, and a distinctive style of communicating their ideas. I want to help strategize a way of coaxing that out in the most authentic way possible.

 

I grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania and went to college at the University of Miami where I worked hard to receive a Bachelors of Architecture. After moving to Los Angeles in pursuit of my acting dream, I gained two incredible daughters along the way. I regularly perform stand up comedy and am developing my own one man show, to be announced soon.
