About Me

I am 38 and single - never married, no kids. I am part-Hawaiian, Portuguese, German, Jewish, etc. I have 2 Bachelor Degrees from the University of Hawai..i. One in Theatre and one in Journalism. I love Theatre, reading great books, watching tv - mostly sitcoms, movies, writing, poetry, hanging out with friends, board games, word puzzles, and learning new things about people, myself, life, and God. God blesses me everyday!! I am an actress who hasn..t acted in 10 years and I miss it so much. I work as a Community Health Educator and have produced two plays that tour the schools of Hawai..i. One on Teen Pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and Other STD Prevention called - "It Can Happen To You", and one on Cigarette Smoking Prevention called - "Crossroads." I supervise an amazing group of actors who inspire me daily.
