The Funny Stuff: 

At the age of three, my parents sent me to a child psychologist; "Why?" you may ask... because my first words were lines mimicked from Looney Tunes (and for a LONG time, those were literally the only words I would use). They anxiously awaited my prognosis only for the doctor to report that, "She just really really likes T.V.." Since then, film & television have always been my number one passion. My interest in the arts expanded over the years and branched out towards the fine arts, singing, acting (I've actually been told I bear a striking resemblance to Ralph Macchio- except his mustache is a little bigger than mine LOL.)  and of course... comedy.

The Boring Stuff: 

Born and raised in Northern New Jersey (outside of NYC) I eventually made my way to Savannah, GA where I attended film school. After college I travelled to a few different states, while working in the media production industry. (I resided & worked in Atlanta, Los Angeles and New Jersey.) Currently, I'm back living in the NJ/NYC area with my husband & two daughters, along with our dog Spike. (We recently had to put our other dog Gizmo down- RIP Gizmo.)
