Once I was a storyteller with many stories to tell but none written down. Then I met and fell in love with 100-words. Problem solved.

Professionally…

I have worked as an artist, script- and screenwriter, teacher, instructional designer, textbook writer and editor, website builder, glassblower and card-carrying member of the Animators Guild, I.A.T.S.E. Local 839. I made clothes for animals for Saturday Night Live, taught radio script-writing in Africa, founded and ran an award-winning non-profit, wrote four original screenplays and an opera libretto.

Non-professionally…

I have hitchhiked across South America dressed as a boy, built a house, coached a Swazi swim team, and helped deliver a baby. My spirit of adventure began with an unconventional childhood and has stayed with me since. I received a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College (Writing and Fine Art), an M.A. from NYU (Writing), a M.P.H. from Hunter College, SUNY, and certification from the American Hypnosis Association.
