Go big or go home

About Me

Equal parts Sophia Loren and Joey Ramone. A Brooklyn native, though I have been around, I still call Brooklyn home. Truest place on the planet. I am an artist- an actress and a writer. Still struggling. Always struggling, I guess (that's life..)maybe what I mean is.. always learning and growing....striving.... to be better.. to be more engaged... smarter, more cognizant and understanding..of myself and of others... never.. ever lose the ability to laugh.. especially at yourself....

My Interests

Movies, Acting, Theatre, Literature, Classic Italian cinema- esp. Vittorio De Sica... cooking for people I love... adventure and travel-- people in the world... politics... humanitarian issues and human rights issues..spirituality.. working out.. art....

I'd like to meet:

anyone with an open heart and an open mind.. those unafraid of love...... the artists, the poets, the soulful colorful characters i have yet to meet..... no bullshit artists,

Almamegretta are amazing.
