About Me
I'm now 50. At the age of 38, while working as a Crisis Counselor, an agitated psych patient attempted to break my neck , rendering me permanently disabled and nearly losing my life. Since then I've been dealing with a Traumatic Brain Injury and C4-5 Spinal Stenosis injury. In 2005, I began to make my way with artwork and acting at the Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts (www.interactcenter.com)
....Ask me about balloon animals and how I got started.... I enjoy helping people and having them laugh aloud when I work.
