About Me...
During daylight hours I am a secretary for the Public Schools of Brookline. After "work", I come alive on stage or in front of the camera! I have been in over 50 theatre productions since 2003, including musical theatre and Shakespeare. Acting kind of took over my life and it's been production after production. I've done up to 3 productions simutaneously (gotta love a challenge), while working on films, industrials, voice overs and Specialized Patient assignments. I guess you could say that I am a glutton for punishment! In 2016, I was nominated for a Motif Magazine Theater Award for Best Supporting Female in a community theater production for my portrayal of Mrs Muller in "Doubt, A Parable" with The Community Players (Pawtucket, RI). I reprised that role with Canton Community Theatre (Canton, MA). 2018 finds me as a new performing member of Red Sage Stories: Playback Theatre & Art for Social Change and a Guest Director for Unconditional Love!
When not acting, I seek thrills. Whether searching for the highest and fastest rollercoasters or tandem skydiving, speed is everything, except when I'm driving (I'm not suicidal). I've also tried parasailing, flyboarding and Powered Parachuting! On the tamer side, I enjoy deep sea fishing, cooking & baking from scratch (follow @witchypoo26 on The Gram) and watching football. A winter Sunday, an NFL game and something simmering in my crockpot or baking in the oven = heaven. I'm a performing member of the Boston & Beyond Boston City Limits Line Dancing groups. I also founded Purplicious Divas and teach R & B/Soul Line Dancing (Like us on FB)!
