About Me
My Background
I’ve been in the creative arts my entire life. I’ve had the great fortune and privilege to do so professionally for over 15 years in NYC, the Hudson Valley and nationally. The fact that people want to pay me to do what I love is something that I am forever grateful for.
I’m an eclectic creative with a career spanning multiple genres and disciplines.
I’ve never wanted to limit my experiences.
I’ve been able to grow and thrive as a creative with multiple outlets and a result, a long list of rich and varied experiences under my belt.
While I have received formal training since my late teens, in college and through my 20’s and early 30’s, most of my learning and growing and honing of skills has come from being out there, trying new things, and doing the actual work for well over a decade.
Each opportunity has led to another, and it’s been and still is an incredible journey.
In addition to my solo work, work with arts organizations and ensembles and collaborations in the creative arts, I also launched Library Card Productions, a film and video production company with my husband Evan Cardona, who is an incredible cinematographer and editor.
I have particpated in so many projects over the years that I have lost count, but below you’ll find a summary of my professional stats.
