Hello. Major question when writing an about page…do I write it first person or pretend I have a biographer who is writing about me in third person…?
Anyway, I currently (and hopefully ongoingly) live in the amazing city NYC! I have been here since 2001 after having lived in Los Angeles for 13 years. While there, I was working in the studio system – Disney Studios, Warner Brothers – and began to take improv classes at the world-renowned GROUNDLINGS THEATER. I got less and less enchanted with the movie business and more 
and more smitten with improv. One of the most magical days of my life was getting the phone call that I had become a GROUNDLING COMPANY member. It was like being inducted into the Justice League with all the superheros I had enjoyed on stage for all those years.
After performing, teaching, and directing there for 6 wonderful years, I decided it was time to make a change so I moved to New York for a summer that turned into 8 years and counting. It’s the most incredible city. I began freelance writing for Comedy Central and I 
started teaching improvisation which quickly evolved into a school and IMPROVOLUTION was born.
I also began another journey that was at the core of my search for change…I never thought of myself as a spiritual person, mainly because it evoked images of flakey hippies hugging strangers and saying very vague things that I couldn’t quite relate to. I experienced it as just being incredibly hungry to find a deeper meaning to my life. I knew getting everything on my ‘checklist for life’ wasn’t the goal…and I knew that because by 31 I had achieved many of them. And it didn’t touch a deeper yearning, a deeper call to do
SOMETHING…BE SOMEONE. I was fortunate enough to be handed a book by Andrew Cohen and that was pretty much that. I’d never read anything like it but it made such complete sense to me – being free, being a liberated person is something that can be attained but it’s not so that I can win the prize and strut around being free. (whatever that means) It’s so that I can then start doing something with my life, with that freedom and clarity. To make choices based on what I know is true, not from habit or from fear, etc. And that one person being awake doesn’t have the power to affect and change culture, but a collective of people awake could. And when the goal is a higher stage of human development based on what we know is possible between us all, then one’s own awakening suddenly has even greater meaning and urgency.
As you can see from the various topics I like to blog about, I am also very, deeply passionately interested in what is the next frontier for women. Going from someone who thought basically nothing about women’s liberation other than what my outspoken aunt liked to talk about at Thanksgiving, to seeing it is such a significant and all-important issue for anyone interested in a new world, a new culture, a new way for men and women to be together, and a brand new way for women to be together in a real sisterhood. The Evolving Women Project at EnlightenNext that I have been engaged in for several years now is really taking off and I hope this blog will inspire some of you to look into how you too can become part of the next wave of human development!
So the blogs I have posted here are a product of my own exploration and insights. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
