For some reason, you took the time to come and visit my website because something compelled you to, and for that, I am appreciative. Thank you.

Truth be told, I much prefer to be writing about anyone or anything else than myself. I have so many stories to share—from ancestral anecdotes to world history or current world events. I like to advocate for others through writing. I think I’m pretty good at it.

I love nature, earth and space science, cooking (it’s chemistry you eat!), and films with “inspired by a true story,” “based on true events,” or “a true story” title cards. I push through those never-ending, long-overdue DIY projects (life of an old-home homeowner, am I right?). I actually enjoy mowing the lawn—I invent craft ideas, paint, sculpt, goof around with VSTs (sound/instrument plugins), and go on adventures with my hubby and son—but mostly, I watch, listen to, and analyze ridiculous amounts of media from across the centuries.

I live in Central New Jersey. Is it rural? Is it suburban? Yes to both. We live on an American Byway. George Washington’s headquarters are nearby, Princeton University, tons of wildlife and nature—canals and rivers, lumbering hills and rolling mountains. After having lived in New York for twenty years and having worked in Manhattan, I still consider New York City my home base. 

I’m originally from New Bedford, Massachusetts. I am a staunch New England character, an American mutt who is curious about everything. I am endowed with a wicked sense of humor and a strong desire for justice and peace. I swear. I joke. I have always had the ability to get creative people together to create and perform. That is part of what it means to be a daughter of the city of New Bedford.

My home city is closer to TF Green Airport in Rhode Island than Logan Airport, so no, I don’t have that Boston accent, bro. I do have one of those down-to-earth, old Yankee, accent that kinda sounds-like-I-went-to-Yale-Drama (rest assured, I didn’t). My natural speaking voice sounds like I’m narrating a PBS documentary by Ken Burns or a classic early 20th-century movie broadcast on TCM with Mel Blanc occasionally interjecting conversation with dynamic voices and commentary. Doesn’t everyone communicate like this?

I’m a mom, a wife, and a pet mom. We have two rescue pets: Kiko the Cat, and Rohan the Dog. If I didn’t have those creatures (husband and son included) roaming around the house making requests and asking me to join in something they want to do, boy, life would not feel complete. I’m truly blessed. Truly.Thank you for visiting my website to get to know a little more about me.

If you like my work and what I am putting out into the world and want to ensure I can continue to do this, then take a moment and leave a comment on one of my audio or video files on YouTube or SoundCloud. Your interactions help me gain more engagement. Engagement for me means more attention, and more attention means the possibility of me getting more gigs and work offers. That’s the best way to show support from afar. Thank you so much for your attention, time, and support. I sincerely appreciate it!
