About Me

Here is my life story...so far! ;o) I was born in Philadelphia and lived in Pennsylvania until we moved to New Jersey for my high school years where I attended school for the first time. I had been privately tutored in Pennsylvania. Fitting in at high school was a challenge not knowing anyone and because I was different from the rest of the students since I was in a strict religious church at the time and their rules were very rigid. My only happiness was MUSIC ...and it continues to be a priority for me. During that time, I became a gospel vocalist and classical flutist for a performing arts group. I left that church when I was 20 to begin a career for a record company and was introduced to the world of Rock and Roll. It was a totally new experience for me! I was fortunate enough to meet many gracious recording artists and experience their incredible performances. My passion for PHOTOGRAPHY began during these years and through that I have become friends with a lot of musicians and contribute photos to their websites and for their promotional marketing materials. I later began a career for Trans World Airlines and traveled to the most beautiful destinations all over the world. My most favorite places were the snow capped Alps, serene lake and picturesque villas of Lake Como, the grand canals and sunsets of Venice, the winds and black sand beaches of Sorrento, Italy - the sun and fun of the French Riviera - Great Britain - Cascais, Portugal - Costa del Sol, Spain - Maui, Hawaii - and Sedona, Arizona. Homes away from home were Vegas and Miami. Now my heart is in Quebec. After TWA went out of business, I changed direction and started a career in public relations management. PHOTOGRAPHY continues to be my ongoing passion. Here are some of my favorite shots of friends in the slideshows below...
