I have the pleasure of starting my fifth and sixth careers in my Senior Years as an actor and model, and writer of screenplays. My involvement in the arts has been life-long; starting out as a professional artist. Although I was reared in a home of musicians and participated in orchestras and bands as I grew up, I was trained from childhood as a visual artist. I also have written poetry all my life. Now I am doing script writing of films.

​

I have enjoyed a life of schooling and professions centered in human culture leading to preschools development towards international standards in African countries, and preschooling policy making and preschooling standards in the U.S. My professional formative years were in New Jersey and Massachusetts, as well as  New York City where I obtained a master's in Museums and in Early Childhood Education. My doctorate from Columbia University is in International Educational Development and Transcultural Studies.

​

Now, I have experience in Feature Films, T.V., Commercials, Print, Voiceover and Modeling; as well as writing Scriptwriting of feature length films with children as main characters. Highlights include roles in T.V. crime series, modeling for Gucci, hand modeling for Starbucks and Holden Wedding Rings, voice of an historical character, and a number of commercials including those for New York Times, and  Shisheido Beauty Products. My favorite parts are "Grandma", but my seven grandchildren are not too thrilled having strangers calling me that.
