She has had articles published in the New York Times and the Phoenix magazine. Her debut novel, CROSSING PATHS, was recently finished. She has also taught acting, writing and history in the New York City school system.
I was able to attend a staged reading of this piece and was thoroughly captivated throughout the performance. The play is funny, sentimental, textured, and melancholy. A great opportunity for mature actors and intimate spaces to stage.
