I was in the performing arts for 15 years before transitioning to working in the sustainable food systems sector as an eco-dietitian nutritionist. Now I focus on my artistic endeavors as wonderful hobbies and side projects.
Currently I dance and teach a dance class called Dance Club w/ Mary Purdy that combines jazz/funk/hip-hop -inspired moves. I've performed several dance pieces at Dance Works and the Bill Evans dance summit
I write personal essays and humorous pieces that usually incorporate an element of satire and social commentary. I also perform at live storytelling events and literary readings. And I've written two books "Serving the Broccoli Gods" and "The Microbiome Diet Reset"
