Facts: NYC-based. Body: Curvy proportioned w/skinny legs. Smart, Athletic, Musical, Funny, Confident, Captivating, Crooner w/ “hey, I’ve got this” vibes.
Mim is notorious for her meticulous approach to role and project preparation, and her contagious trueheartedness and creative energy. She is also known for her boisterous equanimity, unwitting nerdiness, antics & humor, and acuity. Sure, a thesaurus may have been used to find the perfect words to describe herself…
Did we mention her disinclination to have to write about herself in the third person? Well, as a writer and lyricist she finds it’s far easier to write about other subjects, real or imagined, specifically in script or lyric form. 😉
More About…
I really prefer to be writing about my husband or son, or ancestral anecdotes, history, or current world events. I like to advocate for others. I think I’m pretty good at doing that through my creativity. 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,” “a true story” title cards.
I also happen to be that nerd who is a great dancer and can probably swing at and hit more balls than you. Take me seriously. I’m wicked good at hitting things with bats.
I am fortunate to be able to create art. I don’t take that ability for granted. I enjoy working with other playful hardworking people. The work is deceptively challenging, so I work really well with others who naturally bring levity to complex challenges and make light of heavy work. When it’s showtime, I show up. When it’s not, I play, I finish long overdue DIY projects (life of an old home homeowner, amiright?), I invent craft ideas, goof around with VSTs, cook, or go adventures. But mostly I watch, listen to, and analyze a ridiculous amount of media from across the centuries.
I live in Central New Jersey after having lived in New York for twenty years. New York City is my home base. I’m originally from New Bedford, Massachusetts. My home city is closer to TF Green airport in Rhode Island than Logan Airport, so no, I don’t have a Boston/Kennedy accent. I have one of those down-to-earth, old Yankee, sounds-like-I-went-to-Yale-drama accents. My natural speaking voice sounds like I’m narrating a PBS documentary by Ken Burns or a classic early twentieth century movie broadcast on TCM.
I’m a mom, a wife, and pet mom. We have three rescue pets: Kiko the Cat, Rohan the Dog, and Sandy the Stray Cat. 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.
