"I love teaching my new friends. Teaching as a paraprofessional at a private school for regular ed as well as friends with autism has given me so much gratitude. I was director for a number of years at a Sylvan Learning Center after a career as an actor in New York. My degree from Carnegie-Mellon University as well as a Daytime Emmy Nomination and many different experiences on stage and film gave me perspective on the 'uniqueness' of individuals, and I have realized that all of life as well as learning can be enhanced if it is fun and unique.
