I was born and raised in Niagara Falls, NY. I received a BFA in Theatre Arts from Niagara University and a M.ED. in Education Administration from Grand Canyon University. Upon graduation from NU, I relocated to New York City to pursue an acting career. My career has expanded and evolved well beyond being a performer, to include; writing and self publishing three books, writing screenplays for consideration within the tv and film industry, and teaching theatre arts at the high school level.
