I received my Master of Arts in Professional Creative Writing with a concentration in Professional Dramatic Writing. I also have a BA in Communications from John Carroll University. For the last 30+ years, I have been working as a professional musician. I have played piano and worked as a composer, music director, and vocal coach in the US, Japan, and Australia. My true passion is musical theater, and I have written and produced several of my own shows and cast recordings. I enjoy helping students find their own voice through their writing. I strive to help each student be the best possible version he/she can be.
