Well, hello there! Thanks for stopping in.
I am a professional actor, teaching artist, and award-winning, freelance copywriter living in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. As an artist, my call is to create work that moves and inspires people to connect: To connect to each other. To connect to themselves. To connect to their dreams.
Acting
As an actor, I've appeared in over 15 stage productions in the Twin Cities area including shows for Park Square Theatre, Theatre in the Round, and Swandive Theatre as well as campaign spots and industrials for Target.
Copywriting
What I lack in typing skills, I make up for with creative writing. As a copywriter for Target Corporation, my produced work included:
- Over 15 GiftCards with 1 U.S. Patent and 4 Patents Pending
- Concept and copy for the 2009 Easter Campaign (packaging, signing, on-line)
- A children's pop-up book with sound
- Award-winning work on the Global Bazaar (MN AIGA) and Gifts for Greater Good (Cause Marketing Forum Gold Award)
- Many others inlcuding radio, print, on-line, in-store, and out-of-home
Etc.
Cats get nine lives. I aim to keep up with just one life. Here are some other highlights from my busy past:
- Teaching: 6-years experience as a corporate trainer (instructional design and delivery; leadership coaching and development) for Target Corporation
- Earned Master of Arts in English from the University of St. Thomas
- DJ and Producer for WNUR-FM in Evanston, IL
