She has been a writer since she first learned how to hold a pencil. She has also been a stand-up comedian in New York City, a singing (and dancing!) waitress with Spirit Cruises, a disc jockey, a drummer in a rock band, and a teacher for a professional children’s theatre company.
She is an (un)accomplished musician and plays many instruments, all badly – except for the drums. She plays those fairly well.
Her skills include climbing trees when chased by a bear,
making bird calls with blades of grass,
juggling (one ball at a time),
and finding four leaf clovers, a gift passed down to her from her father.
She is an advocate for autism awareness and serves on the Board of Directors for a local non-profit therapeutic horsemanship program.
In addition to her “Suspenders Girl” Blog and Podcast, she is a published author, and has written a play and three screenplays. She is in the process of writing her second book, “Living In Holland”.
