I am a 58 year old Atlanta actress, mother of six and grandmother of 10 (so far).

Since my first impromptu performance in front of my nursery school 50-some years ago, I have been allowed to romp about on stages in Virginia, Colorado, Georgia and New York in roles ranging from gods to devils, matrons and mentors, from classical plays to musicals. On film I have played a jilted bride in The Mafia Priest's Mystery episode of FATHER DOWLING MYSTERIES, David Keith's drunken girlfriend in the Bart Freudlich's WORLD TRAVELER, an evil hillbilly matriarch Ron McLellen's BAD LAND and an even more evil drug company executive in Allen Wilbanks' THE DRUG RUNNER as well as appearing in commercials for Mile High United Way, C.A.R.E. International, and Alabama Power.

Since moving to the Atlanta area a dozen years ago, I've built a reputation for playing disturbing and eccentric women on stage, including Virginia Woolf in Process Theatre's production of Marki Shalloe's SUICIDE MANUAL, and the title character in Mark's O'KEEFFE: PAINTINGS FROM THE FARAWAY, NEARBY with Theatre Gael, Victoria in Stage Door Players' MOONLIGHT & VALENTINO, Lilly Benewski GEEK LOVE with Sensurround Stagings, "politely" racist nurse Peggy Pava in bel CANTO! at Actor's Express, Kathryn in THE HOMAGE THAT FOLLOWS with Dad's Garage and Gertrude in HAMLET at The Shakespeare Tavern.

When I'm not hanging out with my husband of 17 years, Skip, my Momma and the rest of the family (including 7 cats, 2 dogs and 11 birds) you might find me knitting, crocheting, sewing or riding around town on my PEOPLE 50 motor scooter "Buffy."
