I have read and recorded for the Blind and Dyslexic for several years. I have recorded books for Educationally handicapped students of all ages. My experience with presentations is extensive. I have a gift for educational material. Musically, I have sung for plays and student films. I've recorded for clients' answering messages/announcements. Most recently, I narrated a biotech presentation for a large international company. My children's book recordings have been primarily non-professional and unpaid projects but given as gifts from myself and those who requested I record the material.

I am a solution oriented individual with boundless enthusiasm for the possible. I am an overcomer in that I've survived polio in my infancy which left me orthopedically disabled. However, in spite of surgeries, therapy, the use of crutches and canes, I have enjoyed a fabulous life complete with children,grandchildren,dear relationships, successful business ownership, physically demanding hobbies (swimming, bicycling, walking, hiking, etc.). I've sung all my life. Belonged to bands and performed at the Troubadour, Ice House and McCabe's Guitar Shop and was approached by MCA to enter into contract as a writer/performer in the early 70's. The City of Santa Barbara has hired me on several occasions to perform for special seasonal performances. Although I am a trained business manager, the creative side of me cries out to be used more often and consistently. I have so much to offer and family, friends, acquaintances, children, spouse, and business associates would confirm that I am easy to work with, reliable, and FUN!! but with a very serious and responsible side. Please use my services to accomplish your goals. I won't disappoint.
