I've been a stage actress all my life, and recently have become a paid actress for film. I am now represented by Milwaukee Talent Network / Chicago Talent Network. Two of my commercials earned renewal monies.
With a master's in history I have published novels, and I write scripts, some of which have won minor awards. My historical drama made it to finalist. My undead script took me to the Cannes Film Fest (a story in itself!).
I appeared as an extra in a Tony Shahloub movie, and in a segment of State Plate with Taylor Hicks (Wisconsin booyah).
Currently working on a fantasy movie script and a stage play.
Unique traits: A bit hyperactive, love to be busy, was working on a documentary but not where my time is best spent. Got five books I'm working on, one novel, 2 on copper artifacts (4 published), one on the black experience in the first half of the 20th century and a monograph to go with my newly published nonfiction. And currently living the single life. I wish I could figure out how to update my photo.
