: About Me

I am a singer-songwriter, formerly based in NYC, now living in the South, which has been quite a change of pace. I work as a commercial writer for a Fortune 500 company and gig on weekends. I have a wonderful husband who manages my musical career and makes me very happy.

I hold a BA in Fine Arts from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, NJ.
