Work: Off Broadway playwright and producer, author, local art events curator and metaphysical/spiritual life coach.

Proudest achievement: In general, always choosing to live my dreams while using my talents for good in the world, and to always be doing something fun and creative that I love with the people I adore.

Expectations for the future: To see all my ultimate dream goals realized while empowering others to do the same.

Local or global causes supported: I’m passionate about empowering people to cultivate their gifts and talents so they may live a better and more fulfilling life. I volunteered for many years for the LGBT senior community, and I avidly support the Humane Society. My husband and I also started our own charity called “Angel Day” where we look for spontaneous ways to be helpful to others.

Favorite places to connect with nature: I own a horse and keep him on a small family-owned farm nearby, so my first favorite place is with my wonderful spirit animal. I love power walking at Riverfront Park and ice skating at the outdoor rink at Bear Mountain Park in winter. I’m also lucky enough to enjoy the beautiful property that I live on.

Favorite inspirational quote: It’s one of my own… “Enjoy every single experience you can in life, find your truth, live it, express it, be always self-discovering, never self-defeating, dream big, work hard, play soft, and journey the divine!”

What am I doing to be the change I want to see in the world? I’m living my life as my authentic self, including doing what I love for a living, while teaching and sharing my passion for life and creativity with others. Happiness starts from within and living by example, happiness and inspiration are contagious!
