What else?
I have a BFA in Acting from Ithaca College with a Writing minor. I have been a singer/songwriter, a tap dancer, a modern dancer, and an actress too. I can run a light board and knit a hat. I'm still looking for bandmates for my all-mama punk band "The Contractions" so we can finally play "PUT DOWN THAT STICK!" I have two sons, two cats, and a really tall husband.
