I love working in the arts. Whether it be music, dance, sculpting, photography, drawing, painting, performing on stage...I've done a little bit of everything.

Most of the videos you will see on this site are belly dance related. Some have been filmed by me. Some have been filmed of me. And then there is just stuff on here for fun.

I took my first belly dance class from Gypsy Phillips about 15 years ago and I haven't stopped since. Who knew running around in the front yard with a bed sheet would lead to this!!! I have been in several collaborations including a founding member of the Velvet Moon Gypsies, Primal Redemption, OmBellyCo, Ambika Badi'ah, and many other smaller troupes. I continue to study from different teachers and take workshops on a consistent basis. I have performed at many haflis, festivals, restaurants, and private functions as both soloist and group performer. I currently teach at Mind Body Pilates Studio in Leominster and DL Dance Studio in Harvard. This fall I will be teaching at Mt. Wachusett Community College. My performance styles over the years have included Cabaret/American restaurant style, Tribal Improvisation, tribal fusion, gothic, vampy, burlesque, silly and theatrical. It's good to mix it up and not take yourself too seriously... I try to keep my inner diva in check.

I am also a professional videographer and editor. I have been in this business for the past 18 years and have had many jobs including video transfer and film transfer specialist, duplication specialist, DVD and laser disc recording specialist, camera operator, multi camera director, production technician, graphic designer, full motion video real estate videographer, master control operator, animated photo editor and much more. My work has included graduations, real estate, legislative breakfasts, conferences, commercials, ordinations, theatrical productions, weddings, parties, birthdays, parades, dedications, sermons, interviews, documentaries... you name it, I've done it. I have done both consumer and corporate work. I currently run a cable access television station in Central Mass.

I am also available to local dancers in the New England area to produce your own videos for personal or promotional use. If you'd like to see more of my professional work, check out my other youtube site.

I've done way too much community theatre, I can make a killer omelet, and I can set up and break down a hot air balloon at 6:00am.

Enjoy the videos!!!
