Over the past few years I have made many changes to my life: my location, occupation, education and personal values. I am constantly growing in my life and becoming the person I want to be. I have been so fortunate to have help from professors, colleagues, family members and friends along my way. As I became more independent in my own life, I started to worry about all the other women out there who might be facing the same challenges I faced. Maybe they are just starting out their adult-lives or maybe they are ready for a Major Life Change. Regardless of their situation, these women should have someone to go to; someone who has had to face change and choice head-on; someone who can provide them with a helping hand and valuable resources.

The love of performing began for me at a very young age. I always wanted to be an actress or a big Broadway star. However, when I got to NYC, I took a left at Broadway and found myself in children’s theatre. My next audition had me teaching young children and inspried me to go back to school for a Masters in Early Childhood Education. Putting all my skills together, I formed a company doing musical parties for very young children. My company is now a growing team of entertainers that I am training and booking so that I can provide families with fun entertainment that doesn't "talk down" to children or bore the adults! Music connects us all and creates memories that last a lifetime! I am so grateful for this gift!
