About Me

MUSICAL BIO: I play guitar and piano and started singing as a child in church choirs (Roman Catholic). My first love is writing lyrics but I also write music. I’ve been in several bands through the years, but most enjoyed my collaboration with Todd LeClaire. Since launching this page he and I have reconnected as songwriting partners and we have lots of good stuff coming. We hope to record a demo in the coming months.OTHER SONGWRITING PARTNERS: I originally launched this page to find a new songwriting partner. Since Todd and I have reconnected I will be primarily working with him, but I will still consider working with other songwriters and/or singers.PERSONAL: I am a lesbian and been with my partner for 18 years. We have 2 kids, both internationally adopted.EDUCATION/DAY JOB: I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. I have a Master's Degree in Human Resource Management from Keller Graduate School. I am an employee relations manager.OTHER TRIVIA: I used to be a buyer for an independent bookseller and I was a bookstore manager for 9 years. I’ve met J.K. Rowling, which was one of the biggest professional thrills of my life! I also enjoyed meeting Mary Doria Russell (Check out her books at Random House: The Sparrow, Children of God, and A Thread of Grace)CONTACT INFORMATION: If you’d like to contact me outside of the myspace world my email is [email protected]
