N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N I'm from an amazing loving dysfunctional family, I was born on Long Island. As a kid I used to watch numerous comedy specials and cartoons and mimic them as best i could. With an affinity for all things funny, comedy seemed the natural path for me. During my college years and afterward, I bartended to pay rent and realized I was always “on stage” behind the bar. It seemed to be a free show for the boozers and a classroom for my craft. It took years to find my true voice, but unbeknowst to me I was on my way.I was living in NYC bartending, doing some improv, some independent films and some Voice over work. At the same time I scored a job doing cue cards at Saturday Night Live. The four seasons I worked on the show afforded amazing opportunity to meet and work side by side with so many of the greats in show business. I still think of that time as one of the best in my life. Even though I would hold cue cards underneath the lense of the camera with millions watching and have these visions of dropping the cards and jumping into the sketch. It got to the point where every time I'd hold cards I'd think uh oh, I'm going to really do it this time. Silly,huh? But that's when I knew I needed to get my ass into outta there and do something about it....so I packed my car and moved to Los Angeles land of the amazing make believe.. and where people get discovered! YAY!Once I got to LA, reality set in and bartending allowed me to keep the rent paid, and the laughs to keep coming. A painful breakup sparked the comedic voice in me to start talking. I ran to my first open mike to share my pain and the audience laughedSince that first open mike I'm a sucker for a an audience and a whore for the laughter, I'll pretty much get up anywhere I get in front of a microphone. I am honored to have had the opportunity to entertain our troops on several USO type tours in Europe Asia and the Pacific. The tours spanned the globe from such places as Belarus, UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska. What an amazing way to serve your country! They were so grateful for us making them laugh but I can't get over how much it meant to me to get to do that for them.Besides comedy my other passion is voice overs. I've been doing voice overs for commercials, animation and gamesI gotta say I love doing voice overs besides being fun, the people you get to work with are so talented it blows my mind!And I love hanging with my dog and my little pirate KooKoo, she's an amazon and the craziest little bird you'll ever meet. Thank you to all my pirates sisters for reminding me... what a beautiful journey this life is.
