I am a performer, writer and maker-of-things.

I've done a lot of things.

 

I have an anthropology degree, studied herbal medicine, worked as a baker at a bed and breakfast in New England, and have worked as a publicist and a puppeteer.

 

I love to make things and I've learned a lot about the joys (and horrors) of being a creative person who likes to learn new stuff.

 

Even though I'm a mere [insert age here] years old, my inspirations are old-timey things like classic films (The Wizard of Oz), comedians (Buster Keaton), musicians (Frank Sinatra,), and dancers (Gene Kelly). 

​

If you're here because you discovered me through puppetry, here's where you can learn more.

​

I also write. You can learn more about me as a writer over here.

 

 

And don't forget to gently stalk me on YouTube and Instagram. It's an honor.
